Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
How it works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in South Lanarkshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Questions from Birniehill
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Typically, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Birniehill. The price reflects:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- A picture taken from further back
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Why book with us
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- No need to remove anything
- One visit for most repairs
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

What your basin is made of matters
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
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
