Your questions about sink repair in Cramond
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How the visit works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Ensure the area is dry
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repairing versus replacing in Cramond
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the whole basin
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Do not overtighten taps
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
