Sink repair in Glencraig without replacing anything

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. Whether it’s an antique basin with chips and a chipped basin edge, we can help, on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins alike.

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

Glencraig: your questions answered

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

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

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Related advice

Should you replace it?

Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Take a look at our pricing.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the entire basin

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your KY5 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

How to compare quotes

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Glencraig

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Landlord and trade work in Glencraig

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
