How we handle sink repair in Burghmuirhead
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. If you’re dealing with cracks starting at the waste and a crazed, tired basin, we can help.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Get chips repaired early
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use gentle cleaners
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Plumbing leaks
- Widespread crazing
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the whole basin
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Most clients in Burghmuirhead get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
