How we handle sink repair in Sauchieburn

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Whether it’s chips on a built-in basin and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools, we can help, whatever the material.

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

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

When a repair is not the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Widespread crazing
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Through cracks that let water out

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

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 photos for a quote

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:

  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • Where you are, by postcode

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Sauchieburn questions

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Frequently. Send us photos and we will tell you.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can pets and children be at home?

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

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What we are called out for in Sauchieburn

Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

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

  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • An antique basin with chips
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools

Questions to ask before booking

  • Who will actually do the work
  • How the colour is matched
  • How to look after the finish
  • What preparation is included

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Aberdeenshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

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

What your basin is made of matters

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.
