How we handle sink repair in Midland
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Common call-outs are for crazing in the glaze and chips around the rim, on Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in the Orkney Islands.

Where we work around Midland
Midland is about 9 miles south-west of Kirkwall, in the Orkney Islands. We visit homes and businesses in Midland and the surrounding area, so there is no workshop to go to. Midland is one of 51 places in the Orkney Islands we cover.
Every address in KW17 is covered, from the main roads to the quietest streets. We also cover the places around Midland: Orphir (1 mile north-east), Clestrain (2 miles north-west), Kirbister (3 miles north-east), Germiston (4 miles north) and Clouston (5 miles north-west). Remote and island addresses take a little more planning, so call us to arrange it.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the day after.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts 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.

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Midland as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Send photos for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the whole basin
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
