How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- One picture of the whole basin
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Firrhill, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Advice
Should you replace it?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
