Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Get chips repaired early
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Little Scotland: your questions answered
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Generally, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote. You are under no obligation.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin cracked through and leaking
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins

Do you need sink repair in Little Scotland?
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.
Clients usually contact us about:
- An antique basin with chips
- Chips around the rim
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Chips from dropped toiletries

- How to care for the finish
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- When it can be used again

The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Advice
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Should I try a DIY kit 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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
What you get with us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Same prices wherever you are
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
