What affects the price in Torphichen
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A picture taken from further back
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Common problems we fix in Torphichen
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Chips on the rim or front edge
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- How long it needs to cure
- How the room is protected while they work
- What aftercare is recommended
Why repair rather than replace?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
What you get with us
- Work done at your home or business
- We leave the room as we found it
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- One visit for most repairs
Take a look at our full price list.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Your questions about sink repair in Torphichen
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Generally, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Torphichen?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use gentle cleaners
- Don’t overtighten taps
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
