Sink repair in Keir Mill, done in place
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Typical jobs include cracks around the tap holes or waste and chips on a built-in basin, on vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Keir Mill. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the next day.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Keir Mill questions
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Dumfries and Galloway. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Generally, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
