Sink repair in Lugar without replacing anything

If the entire basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. We work on antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are damage to a basin in a vanity unit and a period basin that needs restoring.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Common problems we fix in Lugar

Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, along with damage during fitting.

Customers normally contact us about:

  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • An original basin worth saving

What to look for in a quote

  • How long it needs to cure
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What happens if they find more damage

Our hiring checklist

Work for landlords and builders

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

Rental properties take more wear, 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.

Questions from Lugar

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

In many cases. Send us photos and we will tell you.

Repairing versus replacing in Lugar

Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colour-matched on site

See our pricing.

What sink repair costs

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

  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Lugar. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the entire basin

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

If you are in Lugar and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Leaks from the fittings

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
