Sink repair in Stoneyburn, done in place

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’re often asked to fix a chipped basin edge and a crazed, tired basin, in ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

FAQs for Stoneyburn

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Do you come to Stoneyburn?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Stoneyburn. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

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

Common problems we fix in Stoneyburn

Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, and some happen during bathroom refits.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • A chipped basin edge
  • An original basin worth saving
  • Crazing in the glaze

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Stoneyburn. What changes the price is:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash

If you’re in Stoneyburn and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

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.
