Repairs by material

Period and antique

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

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

For a price in Towie, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Your questions about sink repair in Towie

Can you repair a cracked basin?

In many cases. Send us pictures and we will tell you.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you come to Towie?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Towie. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Are there extra charges for Towie?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What areas do you cover?

All of Aberdeenshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

How to compare quotes

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price
