About our sink repair in Cornhill on Tweed
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most often call us about chips from dropped toiletries and a chipped basin edge.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cornhill on Tweed as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

When to call us in Cornhill on Tweed
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- A crazed, tired basin
What your quote should include
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How to look after the finish
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Get chips repaired early
- Don’t overtighten taps
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
