DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
How we handle sink repair in Balloch
We repair bathroom basins, cloakroom basins, vanity units and period basins, in ceramic, composite and enamel. Taps and wastes stay connected. Our repair technicians work on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are a crack near the taps and damage to a basin in a vanity unit.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Balloch: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you come to Balloch?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Balloch for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can typically be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins

Landlords, agents and businesses in Balloch
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It typically takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Make sure the area is dry
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
