Sink repair in Armadale, done in place
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. We regularly repair vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are damage to a basin in a vanity unit and cracks starting at the waste.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Armadale and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Widespread crazing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Advice
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
FAQs for Armadale
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Armadale?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Armadale use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Should you replace it?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Can I fix it myself?
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
