Sink repair near St Fillans

How it works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job without visiting.

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

  • Antique & period basins

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

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.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Your questions about sink repair in St Fillans

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Surface cracks can usually be repaired. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.

Do you disconnect the taps?

Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you come to St Fillans?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to St Fillans from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

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

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

When to call us in St Fillans

Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

  • Chips on the rim or front edge

  • A crazed, tired basin
  • An antique basin with chips

10 questions to ask before you book

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the whole basin
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
