Sink repair at your home in Mortonhall
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. We’re often asked to fix crazing in the glaze and chips from dropped toiletries, in Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Mortonhall questions
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Edinburgh.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Send photos for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Advice
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Use gentle cleaners
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Should you replace it?
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. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
