What a repair cannot fix

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

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

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

Surfaces we repair

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

About our sink repair in Queenzieburn

Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, matching the colour and gloss. Nothing is taken off the wall. Our technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people get in touch are an original basin worth saving and a crack near the taps.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Queenzieburn and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

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

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

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

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools

What to look for in a quote

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a few hours.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
