Your questions about sink repair in Holyrood
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Holyrood?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Do you come to Holyrood?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Holyrood and the rest of Edinburgh. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What affects the price in Holyrood

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Details of any past repairs

How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Advice
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
