Sink repair in Irvine without replacing anything
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We regularly repair vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people get in touch are an antique basin with chips and a crack near the taps.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Through cracks that let water out
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair

FAQs for Irvine
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Do you work in Irvine?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Irvine from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Do you need sink repair in Irvine?
Fine crazing in the glaze is usually down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.
Signs it’s time to call us include:

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Irvine. The price comes down to:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
If you are in Irvine and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Repair or replace in Irvine?
Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Why us?
- Work done at your home or business
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Everything repaired in place
- No extra charge for your area

For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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.
