Sink repair near Kinghorn

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

About our sink repair in Kinghorn

Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. Nothing is taken off the wall. Our repair technicians work on antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are cracks around the tap holes or waste and chips on a built-in basin.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

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

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Kinghorn

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

When to call us in Kinghorn

Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • An antique basin with chips
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Cracks starting at the waste

Before you book anyone

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How long it needs to cure

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Kinghorn, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Widespread crazing
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Through cracks that let water out

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

Materials we repair

  • Vanity unit basins
