Repairing versus replacing in Loans of Tullich

A new basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match

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.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For a price in Loans of Tullich, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Loans of Tullich: your questions answered

Do you cover Loans of Tullich?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Loans of Tullich for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What does sink repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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