Sink Repair in Auchendinny
Chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins in Auchendinny, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- An antique basin with chips

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Avoid abrasive pads
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Sink repair at your home in Auchendinny
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. We’re often asked to fix damage to a basin in a vanity unit and crazing in the glaze, on vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Midlothian.

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
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.
What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Widespread crazing
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

FAQs for Auchendinny
What happens after I send photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How much does sink repair cost in Auchendinny?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
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.
How to get a fixed price
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the entire basin
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Repair or replace in Auchendinny?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
