Sink repair in Geirinis

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Sink repair in Geirinis without replacing anything

From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. If you’re dealing with chips on a built-in basin and cracks around the tap holes or waste, we can help.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  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 usually use the basin later that day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Make sure the area is dry

Advice

Geirinis: your questions answered

Do you cover Geirinis?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Geirinis from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

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

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Geirinis. The price comes down to:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your HS8 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Landlord and trade work in Geirinis

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Na h-Eileanan Siar and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What we’re called out for in Geirinis

Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, and some happen during bathroom refits.

The things customers normally mention when they call include:

  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • A crack near the taps
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • A crazed, tired basin

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How the room is protected while they work
