Sink repair in Craigcrook, done in place
If the whole basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. Our technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins, and people most often call us about cracks starting at the waste and an original basin worth saving.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

What affects the price in Craigcrook
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the whole basin
- Where you are, by postcode
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Your questions about sink repair in Craigcrook
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you cover the entire of Edinburgh?
Everywhere in the UK, Craigcrook included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

How it works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
