Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
About our sink repair in Dechmont
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. Whether it’s an original basin worth saving and cracks around the tap holes or waste, we can help.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Widespread crazing
- A basin cracked through and leaking
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Dechmont
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why book with us
- Everything repaired in place
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- No extra charge for your area
- Typically one visit, start to finish

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What else we do in Dechmont
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
