How we handle sink repair in Nethermill
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. Our repair technicians work on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are cracks around the tap holes or waste and an antique basin with chips.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Common questions in Nethermill
Do you come to Nethermill?
We do. We send a technician to Nethermill for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Dumfries and Galloway. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
How much does sink repair cost in Nethermill?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

What else we do in Nethermill
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
What affects the price in Nethermill
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your DG1 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use gentle cleaners
- Don’t overtighten taps
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
When we’d advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Through cracks that let water out
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Widespread crazing
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
