How we handle sink repair in Dumfries
If the entire basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. Typical jobs include damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and a period basin that needs restoring, across vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Common questions in Dumfries
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Will you remove the sink?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Dumfries
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Repairs by material
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. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
When to call us in Dumfries
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Cracks starting at the waste
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
Questions to ask before you book
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Who turns up on the day
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Plumbing leaks
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Through cracks that let water out
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins

What affects the price in Dumfries
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the whole basin
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
