Sink repair in Dundee, done in place
We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, matching the colour and gloss. Nothing is taken off the wall. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are a chipped vanity basin and a crazed, tired basin.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Dundee, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dundee use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Dundee: your questions answered
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Dundee.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes Dundee. Prices don’t change with location.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A picture taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Dundee, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Why repair rather than replace?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
What you get with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Plumbing leaks
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
