For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Sink repair at your home in Nether Blainslie
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. If you are dealing with knocks from hair straighteners and a period basin that needs restoring, we can help, on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Nether Blainslie: your questions answered
Are there extra charges for Nether Blainslie?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
What we are called out for in Nether Blainslie
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A crazed, tired basin
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- A chipped vanity basin

- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
