About our sink repair in Tormore

If the whole basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. Whether it’s a chipped basin edge and an original basin worth saving, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Use mild cleaners only

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

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

FAQs for Tormore

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do you cover the whole of Highland?

Everywhere in the UK, Tormore included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you come to Tormore?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Tormore and the rest of Highland. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

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 usually cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

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

Why repair rather than replace?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • No need to remove anything
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Same prices wherever you are

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
