Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Your questions about sink repair in Gargunnock

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Can you repair a chipped basin?

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

Are there extra charges for Gargunnock?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.

Why repair rather than replace?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why Gargunnock customers choose us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Work done at your home or business
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Take a look at our pricing.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the whole basin

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Plumbing leaks
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

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.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your FK8 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
