Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Your questions about sink repair in Kilmuir
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
How much does sink repair cost in Kilmuir?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your IV18 postcode.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
