Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure 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.
Sink repair in Gorebridge without replacing anything
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Typical jobs include fine cracks across the glaze and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, on antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Questions from Gorebridge
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Do you cover Gorebridge?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Gorebridge. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Will you remove the sink?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Midlothian.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can normally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Repairs by material

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit

- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
