Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Repair chips before they stain
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Your questions about sink repair in East Wemyss
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Fife. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Do you cover East Wemyss?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to East Wemyss. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Typically, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- The type of damage
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 will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A picture taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Why repair rather than replace?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
