Sink repair in Kincardine without replacing anything

We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Typical jobs include cracks around the tap holes or waste and chips on a built-in basin, on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Work for landlords and builders

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.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

What a repair cannot fix

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

The process

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your FK10 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Why repair rather than replace?

A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Kincardine. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Kincardine: your questions answered

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Generally, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.

Can you repair an antique basin?

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

Do you disconnect the taps?

No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Kincardine included. Travel is included in the price.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Are there extra charges for Kincardine?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Do you cover Kincardine?

We do. We send a technician to Kincardine for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Get chips repaired early

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
