Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

What we can’t put right

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Widespread crazing

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Port Bannatyne

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

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Chips on a built-in basin

Questions to ask before you book

  • What preparation is included
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • When it can be used again

How to compare quotes

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs

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.

Quotes from your photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • One picture of the entire basin
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Is there a call-out fee?

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.

  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 clear away and tell you when it can be used.
