Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. Typical jobs include a chipped vanity basin and chips around the rim, in enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Cairnbaan as everywhere else we work.

FAQs for Cairnbaan
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Repair or replace in Cairnbaan?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
