Sink repair in Burgh Muir, done in place
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. We are frequently asked to fix chips from dropped toiletries and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, across vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Why book with us
- No need to remove anything
- No extra charge for your area
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Get chips repaired early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not overtighten taps
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.
