Sink repair in Elie without replacing anything
We repair bathroom basins, cloakroom basins, vanity units and period basins, whatever they’re made of. There’s no plumbing to disconnect. Our technicians work on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people contact us are a chipped vanity basin and a chipped basin edge.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the entire basin
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Widespread crazing
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

FAQs for Elie
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Typically, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Are there extra charges for Elie?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Repairing versus replacing in Elie
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
What you get with us
- Everything repaired in place
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Most jobs done in one visit
- A year’s guarantee on all work
See our prices page.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
