Around Curriehill, most of the basins we repair are in family bathrooms and cloakrooms. Most chips take a short visit.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- How many areas need work
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- What it’s made of, if you know
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes. In a smaller place like Curriehill, parking is rarely a problem. Mention a lane, gate or long drive when you book and we’ll plan for it.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep a parking space clear if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Curriehill questions
Can you repair basins at a school or business in Curriehill?
Yes. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations and work for schools, leisure centres and businesses. Tell us about access and timings for the building.
Is it worth repairing old basins in a period home in Curriehill?
In most cases: original pieces are often better made and harder to replace. Send photos and we’ll advise.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we tidy up before we leave.

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens after I send photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Normally, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
