About our sink repair in Kelton Hill
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. Common call-outs are for cracks starting at the waste and chips around the rim, across enamelled basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use mild cleaners only
- Repair chips before they stain
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
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, with colour mixed on site.

Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Common questions in Kelton Hill
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Dumfries and Galloway, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know which floor the room is on

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 normally the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
