Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Sink repair at your home in Milton

From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are crazing in the glaze and chips on the rim or front edge.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Your questions about sink repair in Milton

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Do you cover the entire of West Dunbartonshire?

The whole UK, including all of West Dunbartonshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Honest limits

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Widespread crazing

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Period and antique

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Repair or replace in Milton?

Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Why Milton clients choose us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Work done at your home or business

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Milton. The price comes down to:

  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
