DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Leaks from the fittings
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins

How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

FAQs for Athelstaneford
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Often. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What affects the price in Athelstaneford
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Athelstaneford. What changes the price is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
If you’re in Athelstaneford and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Should you replace it?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
