About our sink repair in St Leonards

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. We’re frequently asked to fix damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and chips on a built-in basin, in vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your pictures

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

St Leonards questions

Are there extra charges for St Leonards?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including St Leonards and the rest of South Lanarkshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Will the price change on the day?

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Colour-matched on site

Our hiring checklist

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Widespread crazing
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
