Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear the area around the damage

What affects the price in Ecclefechan
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole basin
- The material, if you know it
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your DG11 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ecclefechan as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
If you manage property in Ecclefechan, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Repairing versus replacing in Ecclefechan
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin that moves on its brackets
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
