Why repair rather than replace?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Questions from Lochend
Do you cover Lochend?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Lochend for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you cover the entire of Edinburgh?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Normally, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
How it works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know about parking or access
- Make sure the area is dry

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
