Sink repair at your home in Drumbuie

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. If you’re dealing with a chipped vanity basin and knocks from hair straighteners, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Do you need sink repair in Drumbuie?

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.

The things clients typically mention when they call include:

  • A chipped vanity basin
  • An original basin worth saving
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Chips around the rim

Questions to ask before booking

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

10 questions to ask before booking

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Why repair rather than replace?

Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price
