Greenhill: your questions answered
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Edinburgh.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

How the visit works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
Do you need sink repair in Greenhill?
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Crazing in the glaze
- A crack near the taps
- A period basin that needs restoring
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price covers travel
- How to care for the finish
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Who turns up on the day
How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
