About our sink repair in Magdalene
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. If you are dealing with knocks from hair straighteners and chips around the rim, we can help, whatever the material.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Questions from Magdalene
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Are there extra charges for Magdalene?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
How much does sink repair cost in Magdalene?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your EH15 postcode.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Typically, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Something in shot to show the size
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your EH15 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the following day.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Magdalene
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
