Sink & basin repair in Greenbank, Edinburgh
Our repair technicians come to Greenbank for chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- A crack near the taps
- A chipped basin edge
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
About our sink repair in Greenbank
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. We work on enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people get in touch are fine cracks across the glaze and damage to a basin in a vanity unit.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Your questions about sink repair in Greenbank
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

Do you hold any accreditations?

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
For a price in Greenbank, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid abrasive pads
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Landlord and trade work in Greenbank
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
