DIY kit or professional repair?
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, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
About our sink repair in Grantshouse
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. If you’re dealing with cracks starting at the waste and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, we can help, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Grantshouse and across the Scottish Borders.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. 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 them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Signs you need sink repair in Grantshouse
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, along with damage during fitting.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Chips on a built-in basin
- A period basin that needs restoring
What your quote should include
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

The process
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We clean the basin and check 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.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Get chips repaired early
- Use gentle cleaners
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A picture taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
