Sink repair at your home in Salsburgh

From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are an antique basin with chips and chips on the rim or front edge.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Salsburgh: your questions answered

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can you price it without visiting?

Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

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

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Period and antique

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Salsburgh

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Salsburgh use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Repairing versus replacing in Salsburgh

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Widespread crazing
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your ML7 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.

Getting a price from photos

Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

What we are called out for in Salsburgh

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

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • A chipped basin edge
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools

Before you book anyone

  • How the colour is matched
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How soon you can use it again
  • If travel is included in the price
