About our sink repair in Burntisland
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Our repair technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and antique & period basins, and people most often call us about cracks starting at the waste and chips on the rim or front edge.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Get chips repaired early
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your KY3 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Widespread crazing
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Questions from Burntisland
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Do you come to Burntisland?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Burntisland from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
How the visit works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed price.
Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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.
Repairing versus replacing in Burntisland
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
