What we’re called out for in Craigour
Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- A period basin that needs restoring
- A chipped basin edge
- Chips on a built-in basin
What your quote should include
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Aftercare advice
- How the colour is matched
What we can’t put right
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Through cracks that let water out
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Common questions in Craigour
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Craigour. Prices don’t change with location.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Avoid abrasive pads
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
