DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
About our sink repair in Ballantrae
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Common call-outs are for an antique basin with chips and fine cracks across the glaze, across antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Often. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.
Can you repair an antique basin?

Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What else we do in Ballantrae
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Do you need sink repair in Ballantrae?
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Fine cracks across the glaze

Should you replace it?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Ballantrae. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Repairs by material
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.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
