Sink repair in and around Darvel: a fixed quote from pictures, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Cracks starting at the waste
- A period basin that needs restoring
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
How we handle sink repair in Darvel
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Typical jobs include a chipped vanity basin and a period basin that needs restoring, across vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Ayrshire.

What else we do in Darvel
What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Plumbing leaks
- Through cracks that let water out
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a couple of hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price

Advice
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- A picture taken from further back
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Questions from Darvel
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Send us pictures and we will tell you.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Darvel and the rest of East Ayrshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
