Sink repair near Lochdon

Sink repair in Lochdon without replacing anything

If the entire basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. Typical jobs include crazing in the glaze and an original basin worth saving, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Why repair rather than replace?

A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Your questions about sink repair in Lochdon

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Do you cover the whole of Argyll and Bute?

The entire UK, including all of Argyll and Bute. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Surface cracks can usually be repaired. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

How do I book?

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

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.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lochdon as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, including clearing up.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Lochdon

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

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Get chips repaired early

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
