Sink repair near Killin

Sink repair at your home in Killin

Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. If you’re dealing with an original basin worth saving and chips on a built-in basin, we can normally put it right, on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks alike.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Questions from Killin

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Typically, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Killin included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Are there extra charges for Killin?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Stirling.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

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

Composite and resin

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

Why repair rather than replace?

A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • No extra charge for your area

What we cannot put right

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Killin use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What affects the price in Killin

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Killin. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know

If you’re in Killin and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Repair chips before they stain

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

When to call us in Killin

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

People normally call us after spotting one of these:

  • A crack near the taps
  • An antique basin with chips
  • Chips around the rim
  • A chipped vanity basin
