Sink Repair for Loaningfoot homes
Problem with your basin in Loaningfoot? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- An original basin worth saving
- Cracks starting at the waste
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use mild cleaners only
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Loaningfoot. The price reflects:
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A picture taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
For a price in Loaningfoot, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t 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 pictures.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Honest limits
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaks from the fittings

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Questions from Loaningfoot
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Generally, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.
Do you come to Loaningfoot?
We do. Technicians travel to Loaningfoot from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, 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.
