Sink & basin repair in Livingston, West Lothian
Chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins in Livingston, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- An antique basin with chips
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

FAQs for Livingston
How do I get a price for sink repair in Livingston?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Livingston.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Normally, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Livingston as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
