How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Use mild cleaners only

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send photos for a quote

Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

We price from photos so you do not 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.

What we’re called out for in Menzieshill

Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • An antique basin with chips
  • A crack near the taps
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Knocks from hair straighteners

What to look for in a quote

  • How to care for the finish
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

How to compare quotes

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

For anyone letting property in or around Menzieshill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Questions from Menzieshill

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Are there extra charges for Menzieshill?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Dundee.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Can you repair an antique basin?

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
