How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Something in shot to show the size
Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your DG9 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Clear the area around the damage

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Cairnryan: your questions answered

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Are there extra charges for Cairnryan?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Do you need sink repair in Cairnryan?
Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
Customers generally contact us about:
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Crazing in the glaze

- An original basin worth saving

- Who will actually do the work
- How the colour is matched
- How your room will be protected
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Cairnryan. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
What you get with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Free fixed quotes from pictures

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid abrasive pads
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
