About sink repair in Midlothian

Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, matching the colour and gloss. The basin stays on the wall. Common call-outs are for cracks starting at the waste and chips on a built-in basin, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins.

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A picture taken from further back

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Signs you need sink repair

Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

Common reasons people in Midlothian contact us include:

  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • A chipped basin edge
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

FAQs for Midlothian

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

In many cases. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
