About our sink repair in Old Pentland
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. We are often asked to fix a chipped basin edge and fine cracks across the glaze, on antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Plumbing leaks
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Old Pentland
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins

- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
Repair or replace: which is better?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why us?
- A fixed quote before you book
- No need to remove anything
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Old Pentland, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What else we do in Old Pentland
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Old Pentland: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you come to Old Pentland?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Old Pentland from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Old Pentland?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can usually be repaired. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. 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.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Get chips repaired early
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
If you are in Old Pentland and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
