Sink repair in Maryburgh

About our sink repair in Maryburgh

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. Typical jobs include chips on a built-in basin and chips around the rim, on antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Choosing a repair company

Common questions in Maryburgh

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, typically with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Are there extra charges for Maryburgh?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Is it messy?

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

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

See our pricing.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Maryburgh, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Make sure the area is dry

How to get a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
