Why repair rather than replace?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. 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.

Common questions in Nalderswood

Do you cover Nalderswood?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Nalderswood for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

When can you do it?

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

Will it make a mess?

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

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Usually, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Do you need sink repair in Nalderswood?

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Nalderswood as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

What we can’t put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Widespread crazing
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
