About our sink repair in Gartmore

From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is generally repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Whether it’s an original basin worth saving and a chipped basin edge, we can help, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins alike.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Gartmore and across Stirling.

What we do, step by step

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Related advice

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

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

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

What we can’t put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Plumbing leaks
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

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, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Fixed prices from your photos
