Can I fix it myself?
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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use mild cleaners only
- Avoid abrasive pads
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Leslie
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Your questions about sink repair in Leslie
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you cover the whole of Fife?
The entire UK, including all of Fife. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you work in Leslie?
We do. We send a technician to Leslie for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you quote from pictures?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin that moves on its brackets
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
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. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
