How we handle sink repair in Ferniehill

Typical jobs include a chipped basin edge and an original basin worth saving, on antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
How the visit works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What affects the price in Ferniehill
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Ferniehill. What changes the price is:
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Ferniehill: your questions answered
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you cover the entire of Edinburgh?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Do you work in Ferniehill?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Ferniehill from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
How much does sink repair cost in Ferniehill?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
