About our sink repair in Kiltarlity
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Our technicians work on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are a chipped basin edge and damage to a basin in a vanity unit.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Kiltarlity. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Kiltarlity, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
If you’re in Kiltarlity and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Plumbing leaks
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
