About our sink repair in Muirton
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. Our technicians work on enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most often call us about damage to a basin in a vanity unit and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Muirton questions
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use mild cleaners only
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Why repair rather than replace?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Muirton
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
