Sink repair in Braidwood, done in place
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We work on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most frequently call us about chips from dropped toiletries and chips on the rim or front edge.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Get chips repaired early
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, including clearing up.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Through cracks that let water out

DIY kit or professional repair?
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 fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Why us?
- One price list for the whole UK
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Colour mixed on the day to match

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
