Should you replace it?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What affects the price in Kinloss

- How much damage there is

Quotes from your photos
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the whole basin
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your IV36 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Can I fix it myself?
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 usually cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Have new chips repaired quickly
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
What we’re called out for in Kinloss
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- An antique basin with chips
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Chips around the rim
What your quote should include
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether the price covers travel
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long

When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Plumbing leaks
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
