Book sink repair in Merrylee

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

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.

About our sink repair in Merrylee

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. We’re often asked to fix a period basin that needs restoring and a crack near the taps, in vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Merrylee as everywhere else we work.

Before and after: a crack on the edge of a basin repaired

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Plumbing leaks
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Repairing versus replacing in Merrylee

Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, 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.

What you get with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Fixed prices from your photos

What sink repair costs

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

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Common questions in Merrylee

Do you disconnect the taps?

No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

Do you come to Merrylee?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Merrylee and the rest of Glasgow. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Merrylee.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done 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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Work for landlords and builders

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

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
