Lendalfoot questions

Are you accredited?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

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

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your KA26 postcode.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

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

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Get chips repaired early

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Make sure the area is dry

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Lendalfoot

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Most jobs done in one visit

See our full price list.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Signs you need sink repair in Lendalfoot

Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, and some happen during bathroom refits.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Chips around the rim
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • Chips on a built-in basin

10 questions to ask before you book

What a repair cannot fix

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your KA26 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
