Sink repair in Drumoak without replacing anything
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. Our repair technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people contact us are crazing in the glaze and cracks starting at the waste.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Advice
FAQs for Drumoak
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Repair or replace in Drumoak?
Swapping a basin often 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. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- One visit for most repairs
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Nothing taken out or refitted

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
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.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
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.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically 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
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
