About our sink repair in Newton Wamphray

Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We work on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are a chipped vanity basin and knocks from hair straighteners.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Newton Wamphray: your questions answered

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Dumfries and Galloway.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do you work in Newton Wamphray?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Newton Wamphray. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Will you remove the sink?

No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

10 questions to ask before booking

What affects the price in Newton Wamphray

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Newton Wamphray. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A photo taken from further back

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

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

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

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
