Sink repair in Livingston Village, done in place
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. If you are dealing with an original basin worth saving and chips around the rim, we can generally put it right.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Get chips repaired early
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Landlord and trade work in Livingston Village
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Livingston Village. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- What it’s made of, if you know
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
