Sink Repair in Hurlford
We travel to Hurlford for chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Fine cracks across the glaze
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Use mild cleaners only
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Sink repair at your home in Hurlford
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. We work on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins, and people most often call us about chips around the rim and cracks starting at the waste.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Widespread crazing
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Hurlford. What changes the price is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Your questions about sink repair in Hurlford
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across East Ayrshire.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
