Advice
Sink repair in Innermessan, done in place
We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We regularly repair vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are cracks starting at the waste and fine cracks across the glaze.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dumfries and Galloway.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
Why Innermessan customers choose us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- No extra charge for your area
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
See our full price list.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
