Trusted sink repair in Kilbirnie

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Widespread crazing
  • Plumbing leaks

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kilbirnie use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Questions from Kilbirnie

Can you repair a chipped basin?

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

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

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

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Frequently. Send us pictures and we will tell you.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Kilbirnie. What changes the price is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the whole basin

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Kilbirnie, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
