Sink repair in Eddleston, done in place
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people get in touch are a crack near the taps and fine cracks across the glaze.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Eddleston and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Landlord and trade work in Eddleston

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after 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.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Eddleston. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A photo taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Eddleston, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
