Sink repair in Killen without replacing anything
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is generally repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We’re frequently asked to fix cracks starting at the waste and an antique basin with chips, on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Killen as everywhere else we work.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
What we’re called out for in Killen
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, along with damage during fitting.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

Landlord and trade work in Killen
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
The process
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your IV9 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Questions from Killen
Do you cover the entire of Highland?
All of Highland, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can normally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you quote from photos?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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 won’t last.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
