Sink & basin repair in Moffat, Dumfries and Galloway
Sink repair across Moffat and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Chips around the rim
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
About our sink repair in Moffat
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. If you are dealing with an original basin worth saving and knocks from hair straighteners, we can usually put it right.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Moffat as everywhere else we work.

Should you replace it?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Moffat. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- A basin cracked through and leaking

What your basin is made of matters
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
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the following day.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Questions from Moffat
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Typically, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
