Sink repair in Lundin Links, done in place

Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Whether it’s knocks from hair straighteners and crazing in the glaze, we can generally put it right, on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. The basin can typically be used later that day or the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

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 doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Lundin Links questions

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Lundin Links?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Are there extra charges for Lundin Links?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

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 restore period basins?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Lundin Links, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Antique & period basins
