The process

- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit

Advice
Sink repair in Mossbank, done in place
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is usually repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We are frequently asked to fix an antique basin with chips and a crazed, tired basin, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Mossbank, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Different materials, different repairs
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, and the colour is mixed to suit.
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Widespread crazing
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
What affects the price in Mossbank
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A photo taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your ZE2 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Your questions about sink repair in Mossbank
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
