Sink repair in Kirkcaldy

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.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Sink repair at your home in Kirkcaldy

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins, and people most often call us about a crack near the taps and fine cracks across the glaze.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Kirkcaldy and across Fife.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice

Honest limits

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Through cracks that let water out

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Landlord and trade work in Kirkcaldy

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

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.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Signs you need sink repair in Kirkcaldy

  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools

What to look for in a quote
