Sink repair in Cammo, done in place

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are fine cracks across the glaze and an antique basin with chips.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Edinburgh.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Cammo. The price comes down to:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

How it works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Landlord and trade work in Cammo

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

What we can’t put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
