Sink repair in Newlands of Culloden without replacing anything

Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We’re frequently asked to fix chips on a built-in basin and an antique basin with chips, across vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Through cracks that let water out

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Newlands of Culloden

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

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.

Newlands of Culloden: your questions answered

Are there extra charges for Newlands of Culloden?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you work in Newlands of Culloden?

We do. We send a technician to Newlands of Culloden for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Surface cracks can generally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Repair chips before they stain

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. The basin can generally be used later that day or the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
