Sink repair in Bara, done in place
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We work on antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people contact us are a crack near the taps and an original basin worth saving.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Lothian.

What affects the price in Bara
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A chipped basin edge
- An original basin worth saving
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Chips on a built-in basin

How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the next day.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice
Can I fix it myself?
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 won’t last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Should you replace it?
A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Your questions about sink repair in Bara
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you work in Bara?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Bara for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Typically, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
