Sink Repair for Lochans homes
Fixed-price sink repair in Lochans and the surrounding area, done in a single visit in most cases.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips around the rim
- Chips on a built-in basin
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
About our sink repair in Lochans
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Whether it’s cracks around the tap holes or waste and fine cracks across the glaze, we can normally put it right.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Repairing versus replacing in Lochans
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why book with us
- A fixed quote before you book
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- One price list for the entire UK
- Generally one visit, start to finish
See our full price list.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit

- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Plumbing leaks
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
