Common questions in Leith
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you work in Leith?
We do. Technicians travel to Leith from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Repair or replace in Leith?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use gentle cleaners
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Edinburgh and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the next day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

When to call us in Leith
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- A crack near the taps
Questions to ask before you book
- How long it needs to cure
- How the colour is matched
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Who will actually do the work
What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaks from the fittings
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
