Sink repair in Troon

How we handle sink repair in Troon

We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. If you’re dealing with a crack near the taps and an antique basin with chips, we can help, on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins alike.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cornwall.

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.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Through cracks that let water out

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Troon

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

Should you replace it?

A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Everything repaired in place
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Landlords, agents and businesses in Troon

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Troon. What changes the price is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish

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 pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A photo taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Common problems we fix in Troon

Fine crazing in the glaze is usually down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.

Common reasons people in Troon contact us include:

  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • Chips around the rim

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Our hiring checklist

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
