Landlord and trade work in Heriot
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in the Scottish Borders and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
About our sink repair in Heriot
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is generally repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Our repair technicians work on antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people contact us are damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and chips on the rim or front edge.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Your questions about sink repair in Heriot
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
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.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Open a window if you can

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Common problems we fix in Heriot
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
People usually call us after spotting something like this:
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- An original basin worth saving
- Cracks starting at the waste
What your quote should include
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Who will actually do the work
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether the price covers travel
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Get chips repaired early
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Widespread crazing
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
