Sink Repair in Dunbar
Local sink repair for Dunbar: a fixed quote from photos, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- A chipped basin edge
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid abrasive pads
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Repair or replace in Dunbar?
A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Dunbar. What changes the price is:
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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.
