Why repair rather than replace?

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole basin
Most clients in Duthil get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Signs you need sink repair in Duthil
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- A chipped vanity basin
- A crazed, tired basin
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
What to look for in a quote
- How the colour is matched
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What aftercare is recommended
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Get chips repaired early
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
