How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple:

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

What else we do in Muirhead
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A photo taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
Landlord and trade work in Muirhead
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
When to call us in Muirhead
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
The things customers usually mention when they call are:
- A chipped vanity basin
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Chips around the rim
Before you book anyone
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Aftercare advice
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How long it needs to cure
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Repair or replace in Muirhead?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What a repair cannot fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin that moves on its brackets
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair

Your questions about sink repair in Muirhead
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
In many cases. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
What happens on the day
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Make sure the area is dry
