Sink repair in Loanhead, done in place
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. If you’re dealing with cracks around the tap holes or waste and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, we can typically put it right, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use gentle cleaners
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
Every job is a little different, 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.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole basin
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why book with us
- No need to remove anything
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

What else we do in Loanhead
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For anyone letting property in or around Loanhead, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
Most customers in Loanhead get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Loanhead questions
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you come to Loanhead?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Loanhead for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
