When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
Sink repair in Cairnie, done in place
If the whole basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. If you are dealing with knocks from hair straighteners and chips on a built-in basin, we can usually put it right, on antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins alike.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
