Sink repair at your home in Palnure
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. If you’re dealing with cracks around the tap holes or waste and chips on a built-in basin, we can usually put it right, on Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins alike.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Palnure: your questions answered
How do I get a price for sink repair in Palnure?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Repairing versus replacing in Palnure
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a couple of hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Advice
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Landlord and trade work in Palnure
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, 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.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Palnure. The price reflects:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
If you’re in Palnure and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Use gentle cleaners
- Repair chips before they stain
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
When to call us in Palnure
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A crack near the taps
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Chips on the rim or front edge
