How we handle sink repair in Laggan

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Our technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are fine cracks across the glaze and chips on a built-in basin.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Signs you need sink repair in Laggan

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • A crack near the taps
  • An antique basin with chips

Questions to ask before you book

  • What preparation is included
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What aftercare is recommended

Choosing a repair company

What your basin is made of matters

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.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  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.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Widespread crazing

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Laggan: your questions answered

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

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.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do you disconnect the taps?

Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

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

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