  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Chips on the rim or front edge

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Tighnabruaich

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tighnabruaich as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Plumbing leaks

Common questions in Tighnabruaich

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.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Frequently. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you quote from pictures?

Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

How the visit works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing 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. You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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

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