Sink repair in Kames without replacing anything
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. We work on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are a period basin that needs restoring and chips on a built-in basin.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Advice
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use gentle cleaners
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
