Sink repair for Drumry homes

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

How we handle sink repair in Drumry

From cloakroom basins to period pieces, whatever they’re made of. There is no plumbing to disconnect. Our technicians work on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people contact us are damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and damage to a basin in a vanity unit.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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 mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

When a repair is not the answer

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Plumbing leaks

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Drumry

  • Antique & period basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Enamelled basins

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Drumry questions

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Drumry. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Surface cracks can typically be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Are there extra charges for Drumry?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Drumry

Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
