Sink Repair in Denholm
Our technicians come to Denholm for chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- A crack near the taps
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
Why repair rather than replace?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is normally best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Common problems we fix in Denholm
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A period basin that needs restoring
- A chipped vanity basin
- Chips around the rim
- Crazing in the glaze

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use mild cleaners only
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
FAQs for Denholm
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
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.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Denholm. What changes the price is:
- The material
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
What a repair can’t fix
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Through cracks that let water out
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a couple of hours for most chips, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
