Trusted sink repair in Kelloholm

Sink repair in Kelloholm without replacing anything

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. We work on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most often call us about a chipped vanity basin and crazing in the glaze.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. The basin can normally be used later that day or the next day.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

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

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repair or replace in Kelloholm?

Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

What we are called out for in Kelloholm

Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, and some happen during bathroom refits.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • A chipped basin edge
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • An original basin worth saving
  • Chips on a built-in basin

Our hiring checklist

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

When a repair is not the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Plumbing leaks
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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