Sink repair at your home in Earlsferry
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. Typical jobs include crazing in the glaze and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools, in enamelled basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips, including clearing up.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know about parking or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

What affects the price in Earlsferry
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Earlsferry. What changes the price is:
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates

Common problems we fix in Earlsferry
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A crazed, tired basin
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Chips on a built-in basin
- A chipped basin edge
What to look for in a quote
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- If travel is included in the price
What we can’t put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Earlsferry
- Enamelled basins

- Belfast and butler sinks
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Avoid abrasive pads
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
