How we handle sink repair in Gilmerton
If the entire basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. We are frequently asked to fix chips on the rim or front edge and chips on a built-in basin, in Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
There is no need for us to visit first. 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 quote.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Repair chips before they stain
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid abrasive pads
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Questions from Gilmerton
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your PH7 postcode.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Gilmerton and the rest of Perth and Kinross. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Why repair rather than replace?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gilmerton as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- 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.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
