How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Carrington. What changes the price is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaks from the fittings
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
Carrington: your questions answered
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do you work in Carrington?
We do. Technicians travel to Carrington from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you cover the entire of Midlothian?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
