Before and after: a chip on the front of a bathroom basin repaired

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. The basin can usually be used later that day or the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Repairing versus replacing in Kirkintilloch

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Kirkintilloch. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Kirkintilloch, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
