Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
About our sink repair in New Galloway
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Whether it’s chips on the rim or front edge and an antique basin with chips, we can normally put it right, on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins alike.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Can I fix it myself?
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, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
New Galloway questions
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do you cover the whole of Dumfries and Galloway?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Should you replace it?
A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Go 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. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

- One sharp close-up of the damage
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
