How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

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

Sink repair in Smallburgh without replacing anything

We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We are frequently asked to fix cracks starting at the waste and chips on a built-in basin, on antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

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

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Smallburgh

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Everything repaired in place

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. The basin can generally be used later that day or the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
