Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Uig and across Highland.

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Landlord and trade work in Uig

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Common questions in Uig

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Will you remove the sink?

Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Uig. Prices don’t change with location.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

If you are in Uig and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
