About our sink repair in Inveresk
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. Common call-outs are for cracks around the tap holes or waste and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, on enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Lothian.

Should you replace it?
A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Inveresk. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What affects the price in Inveresk
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A photo taken from further back
If you are in Inveresk and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, 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.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Repair chips before they stain
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Inveresk questions
How do I get a price for sink repair in Inveresk?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Are there extra charges for Inveresk?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Do you work in Inveresk?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Inveresk from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you cover the whole of East Lothian?
All of East Lothian, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What we can’t put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
