Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

What we work on
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do I have to be there?

What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Most clients in Bannockburn get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Repairing versus replacing in Bannockburn
Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
