How sink repair works in Dundee
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. We work on antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are damage to a basin in a vanity unit and an antique basin with chips.
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a couple of hours for most chips from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the next day.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place.

- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether the price covers travel
- What aftercare is recommended
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dundee use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use gentle cleaners
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
