The Challenge: A Grade B listed property near Dumfries Museum had an original 1890s Belfast sink with severe chips around the rim and a 15cm crack running from the overflow. The owners needed restoration that preserved the sink's heritage value while ensuring modern functionality.
Our Solution: Using colour-matched ceramic compounds and specialist bonding agents, we meticulously rebuilt the chipped areas and sealed the crack from both sides. The repair process took 4 hours, including proper curing time for the listed building's specific requirements.
The Result: Complete invisible restoration maintaining the sink's antique character. Cost: £385 including our 12-month warranty. Replacement with a heritage-approved alternative would have cost £2,800 plus installation and potential planning permission complications. The repair has now lasted 18 months with daily use.
Dumfries kitchens see heavy daily use, particularly in family homes throughout Georgetown and Lochside estates. Sink chip repair requests typically involve damage from dropped pans or utensils, especially common in ceramic and porcelain sinks. The sandstone properties along Castle Street often feature traditional Belfast sinks prone to rim chips from decades of use.
Heat damage affects many composite sinks in modern Marchmount properties where hot pans cause discolouration or surface melting. Our specialist resurfacing techniques restore the original appearance while adding heat-resistant properties. With 30 years of experience, we've perfected colour-matching for every major sink manufacturer.
Scratches from abrasive cleaning or metal scouring are particularly visible on glossy ceramic surfaces. Our sink scratch repair process involves multiple stages of filling, sanding, and polishing to achieve an invisible repair covered by our 12-month warranty.
Period properties near the Whitesands frequently retain original Victorian basins with hairline cracks from thermal stress. These delicate porcelain fixtures require expert handling - our technicians use flexible sealants that accommodate natural building movement common in Dumfries's older structures.
Modern developments like Cuckoo Bridge Retail Park apartments feature designer resin basins susceptible to impact damage from dropped toiletries. Sink crack repair in these materials demands specific bonding agents that maintain the sink's translucent properties while ensuring waterproof sealing.
Overflow staining and enamel wear affect sinks throughout Dumfries regardless of age. Our re-enamelling service, refined over three decades, creates a harder-wearing surface than original factory finishes. This proves especially valuable for rental properties in the student areas near Crichton Campus.
