What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
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. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in West Lothian and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Your questions about sink repair in East Calder
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Do you come to East Calder?
We do. We send a technician to East Calder for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Repair or replace in East Calder?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

When to call us in East Calder
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A crazed, tired basin
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- A period basin that needs restoring
- A chipped vanity basin
What to look for in a quote
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- If travel is included in the price
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use mild cleaners only
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

When we would advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
