About our sink repair in Drumnadrochit

If the whole basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. Typical jobs include a crazed, tired basin and a chipped vanity basin, in Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Drumnadrochit

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Your questions about sink repair in Drumnadrochit

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Will you remove the sink?

Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

When to call us in Drumnadrochit

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • An antique basin with chips
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste

Questions to ask before you book

  • When it can be used again
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • What prep work is covered
  • How the colour is matched

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Don’t overtighten taps

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Drumnadrochit. What changes the price is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
