How we handle sink repair in Kirkton
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. If you’re dealing with chips on the rim or front edge and a crack near the taps, we can typically put it right, on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and enamelled basins alike.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Kirkton questions
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DG1 postcode.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
Signs you need sink repair in Kirkton
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, and some happen during bathroom refits.
Clients normally contact us about:
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- A period basin that needs restoring
- A crazed, tired basin
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste

Why repair rather than replace?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Don’t overtighten taps
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Open a window if you can
