Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Sink repair at your home in Glenrothes
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. If you have knocks from hair straighteners and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, we can generally put it right, on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins alike.
Around Glenrothes, basins in family bathrooms and cloakrooms see daily use. Most damage is repaired where it is.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Glenrothes and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Glenrothes
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
If you manage property in Glenrothes, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Repairing versus replacing in Glenrothes
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Around Glenrothes, a new basin rarely matches what’s around it, while a repair keeps everything as it is.
Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes cost nothing and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed quote.

The things clients typically mention when they call are:
- A chipped vanity basin

How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used. In a town like Glenrothes, most homes have a driveway or nearby street parking, so arranging the visit is straightforward. Just mention if the basin is upstairs or in a flat.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the day after.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice

When a repair isn’t the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
