How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

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

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Signs you need sink repair in Glen Moriston

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • A chipped basin edge
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools

Our hiring checklist

Your questions about sink repair in Glen Moriston

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Can pets and children be at home?

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

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
