Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Do you need sink repair in Leuchars?
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

- A period basin that needs restoring
- A chipped basin edge
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Fine cracks across the glaze
Questions to ask before you book
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What happens if they find more damage
- When it can be used again
- How your room will be protected
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Why us?
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- One visit for most repairs
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- No need to remove anything

What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What else we do in Leuchars
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. 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, and the colour is mixed to suit.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Leuchars. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
