Sink repair in Wilton, done in place

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. Typical jobs include an antique basin with chips and chips on a built-in basin, in Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in the Scottish Borders.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Wilton. What changes the price is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

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.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

For a price in Wilton, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What we can’t put right

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Should you replace it?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

FAQs for Wilton

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

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

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do you work in Wilton?

We do. Technicians travel to Wilton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge

Do not 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.
