What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Most customers in Kirktonhill get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What we can’t put right

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

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Widespread crazing

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Kirktonhill questions

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

In many cases. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do you come to Kirktonhill?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Kirktonhill and the rest of West Dunbartonshire. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Kirktonhill.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

What we’re called out for in Kirktonhill

Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Cracks starting at the waste

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Choosing a repair company

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

If you manage property in Kirktonhill, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

What you get with us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • No extra charge for your area
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

See our pricing.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
