Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the whole basin
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Landlord and trade work in Alyth
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear the area around the damage

Related advice
Signs you need sink repair in Alyth
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
People normally call us after spotting one of these:
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- An original basin worth saving
- A crack near the taps
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether the price covers travel
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
