Sink repair at your home in Lochaline
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. If you are dealing with crazing in the glaze and chips around the rim, we can typically put it right, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins alike.

Lochaline questions
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Frequently. Send us pictures and we will tell you.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A basin cracked through and leaking
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Do you need sink repair in Lochaline?
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Look out for any of the following:
- An original basin worth saving
- A chipped basin edge
- A chipped vanity basin
- Fine cracks across the glaze
What to look for in a quote
- Who turns up on the day
- If travel is included in the price
- When it can be used again
- Whether they match the colour on site
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Get chips repaired early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Open a window if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Lochaline. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole basin
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
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 over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
