Sink repair at your home in Saughtonhall

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. We regularly repair enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins, and people most often call us about a crazed, tired basin and chips on a built-in basin.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby 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. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Related advice

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Get chips repaired early

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

FAQs for Saughtonhall

Is my repair covered?

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

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Typically, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Saughtonhall?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Edinburgh.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

What affects the price in Saughtonhall

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Saughtonhall. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
