Sink repair in Renfrew

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Sink repair in Renfrew, done in place

Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Typical jobs include chips on a built-in basin and an original basin worth saving, on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Renfrew and across Renfrewshire.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Use gentle cleaners

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Common problems we fix in Renfrew

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

The things clients typically mention when they call are:

10 questions to ask before booking

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Are you accredited?

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

Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.

Do you cover the entire of Renfrewshire?

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Should you replace it?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
