Your questions about sink repair in Dirleton
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Repair or replace in Dirleton?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is normally best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

When to call us in Dirleton
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A chipped vanity basin
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
Comparing quotes
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Who turns up on the day

DIY kit or professional repair?
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use mild cleaners only
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
