About our sink repair in Humbie
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. We’re frequently asked to fix damage to a basin in a vanity unit and crazing in the glaze, in Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Honest limits
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaks from the fittings
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks

What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Humbie
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Humbie use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your EH36 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What affects the price in Humbie
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
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.

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
