About our sink repair in Linburn
We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. If you’re dealing with a chipped vanity basin and an antique basin with chips, we can help, on Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Linburn and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Linburn questions
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
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 EH27 postcode.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What else we do in Linburn
When a repair is not the answer
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Through cracks that let water out
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Advice
Signs you need sink repair in Linburn
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A chipped basin edge
- A crack near the taps
- A chipped vanity basin
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How the room is protected while they work
- How soon you can use it again
- What happens if they find more damage
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
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.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your EH27 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
