Sink repair in Stevenston, done in place

From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is normally repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We’re frequently asked to fix cracks starting at the waste and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

FAQs for Stevenston

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do you come to Stevenston?

We do. We send a technician to Stevenston for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Different materials, different repairs

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.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Stevenston. The price reflects:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Use gentle cleaners

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
