When to call us in East Linton
Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.

- Cracks starting at the waste
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- A chipped basin edge
- An antique basin with chips
What your quote should include
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How the colour is matched
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether a trained technician does the job
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Repairing versus replacing in East Linton
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. 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. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- No extra charge for your area
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- One picture of the whole basin
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Plumbing leaks
- Widespread crazing
- Through cracks that let water out
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
