Sink repair at your home in Cockburnspath
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. We’re frequently asked to fix cracks starting at the waste and chips around the rim, in vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.

How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Repair chips before they stain
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a repair can’t fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Your questions about sink repair in Cockburnspath
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Cockburnspath and the rest of the Scottish Borders. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Usually, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across the Scottish Borders.
