About our sink repair in Burdiehouse
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. If you’re dealing with cracks around the tap holes or waste and knocks from hair straighteners, we can help, on vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks alike.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.

Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Burdiehouse.
Do you need sink repair in Burdiehouse?
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
People normally call us after spotting one of these:
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A chipped basin edge
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
Before you book anyone
- Who will actually do the work
- What happens if they find more damage
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether they match the colour on site
Why repair rather than replace?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

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, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Burdiehouse, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Clean with mild, non-abrasive 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.
