Sink repair in North Middleton, done in place
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. If you’re dealing with a period basin that needs restoring and a crazed, tired basin, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

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.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes a couple of hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin cracked through and leaking

Your questions about sink repair in North Middleton
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Do you come to North Middleton?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to North Middleton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can usually be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Repairing versus replacing in North Middleton
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. 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.
Why us?
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- One-year guarantee on every repair

Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Midlothian and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use mild cleaners only
- Do not overtighten taps
- Use gentle cleaners
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
