Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully 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 tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
How we handle sink repair in Kirriemuir
If the entire basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. Whether it’s a chipped vanity basin and an antique basin with chips, we can typically put it right.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

FAQs for Kirriemuir
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Kirriemuir?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Will you remove the sink?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
The process
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a couple of hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Open a window if you can

What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use gentle cleaners
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Repairing versus replacing in Kirriemuir
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Kirriemuir. The price reflects:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
