What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Sink repair in Lower Largo without replacing anything

Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Common call-outs are for chips on the rim or front edge and cracks around the tap holes or waste, on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Lower Largo and across Fife.

  • A chipped vanity basin
  • An antique basin with chips

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Use mild cleaners only

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.

What affects the price in Lower Largo

Lower Largo: your questions answered

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Do you come to Lower Largo?

We do. We send a technician to Lower Largo for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

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

Period and antique

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

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

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.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Lower Largo

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
