When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Widespread crazing
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Sink repair at your home in Prestongrange

Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. Common call-outs are for crazing in the glaze and a period basin that needs restoring, on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Prestongrange: your questions answered

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across East Lothian.

Do you work in Prestongrange?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Prestongrange. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  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. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Related advice

What affects the price in Prestongrange

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Prestongrange. The price reflects:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the whole basin

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Do you need sink repair in Prestongrange?

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A crazed, tired basin
  • An antique basin with chips
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Chips on a built-in basin

Repair or replace in Prestongrange?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

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.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
