Sink repair in Old Kilpatrick, done in place
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people contact us are an original basin worth saving and a chipped basin edge.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Vanity unit basins

The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the following day.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Advice
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Get chips repaired early
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
FAQs for Old Kilpatrick
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
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.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
