How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available

What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Edinburgh Waterfront
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Repair chips before they stain
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

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 polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
