Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why Balintore customers choose us

Balintore questions
Do you cover the entire of Highland?
We work UK-wide, so Balintore is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Highland.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Signs you need sink repair in Balintore
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- An original basin worth saving
- Chips on a built-in basin

- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
