Sink repair near Lochwinnoch

Sink repair in Lochwinnoch without replacing anything

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are an antique basin with chips and a crazed, tired basin.

Around Lochwinnoch, most of the basins we repair are in family bathrooms and cloakrooms. A chip is usually a short visit.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How the visit 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 we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it. Around Lochwinnoch, access and parking are typically easy. If you are down a lane or a long drive, tell us when you book.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • A wider photo showing the whole basin

Do you need sink repair in Lochwinnoch?

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

Look out for these signs:

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

If you live in one of the older homes near a church such as Lochwinnoch, it may still have original basins or a period toilet, which are worth repairing rather than replacing.

Before booking anyone

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Our hiring checklist

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

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

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Should you replace it?

A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. If your basin in Lochwinnoch is sound, a repair is normally the better choice.

Our sink repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
