Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

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

Period and antique

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

Common questions in Larkhall

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Larkhall?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Related advice

Should you replace it?

Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

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.

Signs you need sink repair in Larkhall

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • A crack near the taps
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • Chips around the rim

What to look for in a quote

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • When it can be used again
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Who turns up on the day

Our hiring checklist

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

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

Landlord and trade work in Larkhall

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
