The process
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a couple of hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
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.
Landlord and trade work in Kirk Yetholm
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Through cracks that let water out
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Widespread crazing
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Kirk Yetholm: your questions answered
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Kirk Yetholm?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
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.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use gentle cleaners
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
What we’re called out for in Kirk Yetholm
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.
Look out for any of the following:
- A crack near the taps
- Chips on a built-in basin
- A crazed, tired basin
- Chips around the rim
