How we handle sink repair in Brechin
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. Our repair technicians work on antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most frequently call us about fine cracks across the glaze and chips from dropped toiletries.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repairing versus replacing in Brechin
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Brechin. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What affects the price in Brechin
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the whole basin
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Questions from Brechin
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Brechin and the rest of Angus. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Brechin
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Brechin
