Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Use mild cleaners only

Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. 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.

When to call us in Lochcarron

Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Crazing in the glaze
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • A crack near the taps

Questions to ask before booking

Choosing a repair company

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Common questions in Lochcarron

Do you disconnect the taps?

No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Are you accredited?

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

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the whole basin

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

How it works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Related advice

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
