Sink repair for Duror homes

Should you replace it?

Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

If you manage property in Duror, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Signs you need sink repair in Duror

Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, along with damage during fitting.

People usually call us when they notice one of these:

  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Cracks starting at the waste

Choosing a repair company

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

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

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a couple of hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Advice

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

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

Materials we work on in Duror

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Duror questions

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you quote from photos?

Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Duror.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
