DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Sink repair at your home in Killochyett
If the entire basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most often call us about cracks around the tap holes or waste and crazing in the glaze.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Your questions about sink repair in Killochyett
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Usually, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Killochyett and the rest of the Scottish Borders. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
What you get with us
- One price list for the entire UK
- One visit for most repairs
- No need to remove anything
