How we handle sink repair in Wishaw

Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What your basin is made of matters

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

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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wishaw

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wishaw as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Do you need sink repair in Wishaw?

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • An original basin worth saving
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools

Our hiring checklist

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most chips. The room is left tidy.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Your questions about sink repair in Wishaw

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.

What does sink repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Surface cracks can typically be repaired. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.

Do you cover the entire of North Lanarkshire?

All of North Lanarkshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Wishaw. The price comes down to:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Most customers in Wishaw get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

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

Materials we repair

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