Sink repair in Pittendreich without replacing anything

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Whether it’s crazing in the glaze and a chipped vanity basin, we can help.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Common questions in Pittendreich

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

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

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Covering Pittendreich

All of IV30 is within our area, from the main roads to the quietest streets. We also travel to Miltonduff (1 mile south-west), Elgin (2 miles north-east), Ashgrove (2 miles east), Newton (2 miles north-west) and Thomshill (3 miles south-east).

Remote and island addresses take a little more planning, so it’s best to call first.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s 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 photos, as it can add time.

Do you need sink repair in Pittendreich?

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • An original basin worth saving
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • Chips around the rim

What your quote should include

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

How to compare quotes

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Through cracks that let water out

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Pittendreich. What changes the price is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

How it works

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 morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Get a quote

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your IV30 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Pittendreich. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
