Sink repair at your home in Nethercraigs
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We regularly repair enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are an original basin worth saving and fine cracks across the glaze.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

How the visit works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Nethercraigs. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Read our prices page.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Get chips repaired early
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Nethercraigs, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Nethercraigs. The price comes down to:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For a price in Nethercraigs, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
What we cannot put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Plumbing leaks
- Widespread crazing

FAQs for Nethercraigs
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Do you work in Nethercraigs?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Nethercraigs from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
