Sink repair in Strathore, done in place
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people get in touch are a crack near the taps and an original basin worth saving.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Strathore. The price comes down to:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Strathore. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Where you are, by postcode
Most clients in Strathore get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
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 frequently lifts.
Your questions about sink repair in Strathore
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Do you work in Strathore?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Strathore. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Generally, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What we’re called out for in Strathore
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Crazing in the glaze
- A chipped vanity basin
- An antique basin with chips
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
What to look for in a quote
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Who turns up on the day
- What preparation is included
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Repair chips before they stain
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Do not overtighten taps
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Repair or replace in Strathore?
A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
