Sink repair in Invergowrie

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the whole basin

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your DD2 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Sink repair in Invergowrie without replacing anything

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. Common call-outs are for damage to a basin in a vanity unit and fine cracks across the glaze, in Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

When a repair is not the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Through cracks that let water out

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Common problems we fix in Invergowrie

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • An antique basin with chips
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • Chips on the rim or front edge

What to look for in a quote

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether the price covers travel

Our hiring checklist

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

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

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Repair or replace in Invergowrie?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Everything repaired in place

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon.

  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. Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
