Sink repair in Dunnet

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Sink repair at your home in Dunnet

If the whole basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. If you are dealing with an antique basin with chips and cracks starting at the waste, we can generally put it right.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What we cannot put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Widespread crazing
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Plumbing leaks

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. The basin can normally be used later that day or the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Dunnet. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Repair or replace in Dunnet?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is usually the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Common questions in Dunnet

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
