About our sink repair in Niddrie
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Typical jobs include fine cracks across the glaze and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Landlord and trade work in Niddrie
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
If you manage property in Niddrie, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. 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.

What affects the price in Niddrie
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Niddrie. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Niddrie. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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 process
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
