Sink repair in Loans, done in place
If the whole basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. If you’re dealing with a period basin that needs restoring and fine cracks across the glaze, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Should you replace it?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin that moves on its brackets
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
What we do, step by step
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know about parking or access

Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
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.
Common questions in Loans
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of South Ayrshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

What affects the price in Loans
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- A picture taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your KA10 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Common problems we fix in Loans
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
Clients generally contact us about:
- An original basin worth saving
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- A chipped vanity basin
- Chips from dropped toiletries
What your quote should include
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- What aftercare is recommended
- How soon you can use it again
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
- Don’t overtighten taps
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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.
