Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Sink repair in Crail, done in place
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We regularly repair enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most frequently call us about a crack near the taps and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Repair or replace in Crail?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually.

What affects the price in Crail
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your KY10 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Crail questions
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can pets and children be at home?
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.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you cover the entire of Fife?
All of Fife, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
