How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Related advice
Your questions about sink repair in Doonfoot
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Do you cover the whole of South Ayrshire?
The whole UK, including all of South Ayrshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Widespread crazing
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins

Landlord and trade work in Doonfoot
If you manage property in Doonfoot, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Doonfoot. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why book with us
- No extra charge for your area
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Everything repaired in place
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
