About our sink repair in Blackburn
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. Typical jobs include an antique basin with chips and fine cracks across the glaze, on Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Blackburn and across West Lothian.

Blackburn: your questions answered
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
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.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
How much does sink repair cost in Blackburn?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your EH47 postcode.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is normally best. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
