How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most chips. We leave the room clean.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

Longriggend questions

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.

Do you cover the entire of North Lanarkshire?

Everywhere in the UK, Longriggend included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

How much does sink repair cost in Longriggend?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Our hiring checklist

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

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.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Longriggend, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
