About our sink repair in Innerleithen
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. If you’re dealing with a chipped vanity basin and a crack near the taps, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Clean with mild, non-abrasive 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.

Common questions in Innerleithen
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can you quote from pictures?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can normally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
When we’d advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Widespread crazing
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
Should you replace it?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Related advice
What affects the price in Innerleithen
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Innerleithen. The price comes down to:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Something in shot to show the size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Innerleithen
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
If you manage property in Innerleithen, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
