Sink repair for Tarland homes

Sink repair in Tarland, done in place

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. Whether it’s damage to a basin in a vanity unit and a period basin that needs restoring, we can help.

What a repair can’t fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

10 questions to ask before booking

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Why repair rather than replace?

Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Tarland. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why Tarland clients choose us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
