Trusted sink repair in Dunollie

Landlord and trade work in Dunollie

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Sink repair at your home in Dunollie

If the whole basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. Our technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people get in touch are a crack near the taps and chips around the rim.

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

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repairing versus replacing in Dunollie

A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Leaks from the fittings

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Dunollie. The price reflects:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area
  • The material

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Avoid abrasive pads

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.

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

Your questions about sink repair in Dunollie

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

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

Do you come to Dunollie?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Dunollie and the rest of Argyll and Bute. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
