Sink repair in Falkirk without replacing anything
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We’re frequently asked to fix a crack near the taps and fine cracks across the glaze, in Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Falkirk and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Ensure the area is dry

Advice
Common questions in Falkirk
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Get chips repaired early
- Don’t overtighten taps
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
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.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Falkirk. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Why repair rather than replace?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is usually the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
What you get with us
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- A fixed quote before booking
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 often lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Widespread crazing
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
