Repairing versus replacing in Jock's Lodge
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

When we would advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Plumbing leaks
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Signs you need sink repair in Jock's Lodge
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Cracks starting at the waste
- A chipped vanity basin
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What happens if they find more damage
- What protection goes down before work starts
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use gentle cleaners
- Repair chips before they stain
Go 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.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Jock's Lodge: your questions answered
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Are there extra charges for Jock's Lodge?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
In many cases. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Edinburgh.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Get a quote
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 to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
