How we handle sink repair in Strachur
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is usually repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Our repair technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins, and common reasons people get in touch are fine cracks across the glaze and an original basin worth saving.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Why repair rather than replace?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Our sink repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Advice
What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Strachur
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
When to call us in Strachur
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Chips around the rim
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
Comparing quotes
- How the colour is matched
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the price covers travel
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
