Morningside questions
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Frequently. Send us pictures and we will tell you.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Do you come to Morningside?
We do. We send a technician to Morningside for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Morningside, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Related advice
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Repair or replace in Morningside?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Read our pricing.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
