Your questions about sink repair in East Pilton
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
What areas do you cover?
All of Edinburgh, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in East Pilton.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Do not overtighten taps
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
