About our sink repair in Balnabruich
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Typical jobs include an original basin worth saving and chips from dropped toiletries, across antique & period basins, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Plumbing leaks
- Widespread crazing
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
What affects the price in Balnabruich
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Balnabruich. The price reflects:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- The material
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the entire basin
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Repairs by material
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
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
When to call us in Balnabruich
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- A chipped basin edge

How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Get chips repaired early
- Do not overtighten taps
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
