Sink repair for Lochearnhead homes

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

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 usually the cheaper route.

Sink repair in Lochearnhead, done in place

From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is generally repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. If you are dealing with a chipped basin edge and a crazed, tired basin, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Questions from Lochearnhead

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Lochearnhead. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Stirling.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lochearnhead

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

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

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Do you need sink repair in Lochearnhead?

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • A crack near the taps
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • An antique basin with chips

Before booking anyone

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What happens if they find more damage

Our hiring checklist

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Should you replace it?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Lochearnhead. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a couple of hours for most chips, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. The basin can usually be used later that day or the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price
