Do you need sink repair in Boswall?
Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A crack near the taps
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- A chipped basin edge
What your quote should include
- Who will actually do the work
- What prep work is covered
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Aftercare advice
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Get chips repaired early
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why us?
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Fixed prices from your photos
- We leave the room as we found it
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
