DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not 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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in the Scottish Borders and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

What else we do in Oxton
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Oxton. The price reflects:
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A photo taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use mild cleaners only
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Questions from Oxton
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
