About our sink repair in Dryburgh
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We’re frequently asked to fix chips around the rim and an antique basin with chips, on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Your questions about sink repair in Dryburgh
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
What areas do you cover?
All of Dundee, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Normally, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send photos.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use gentle cleaners
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
What we cannot put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Through cracks that let water out
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
Landlord and trade work in Dryburgh
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dryburgh use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
What affects the price in Dryburgh
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Where you are, by postcode
Most clients in Dryburgh get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the following day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
