About our sink repair in Ninewells

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. If you’re dealing with chips around the rim and a period basin that needs restoring, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

How the visit works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. The basin can normally be used later that day or the following day.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Our hiring checklist

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Should you replace it?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why Ninewells clients choose us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One price list for the entire UK

Landlord and trade work in Ninewells

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Ninewells. The price reflects:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
