Sink repair in Palnackie, done in place
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most frequently call us about a chipped vanity basin and knocks from hair straighteners.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Widespread crazing
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Questions from Palnackie
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes Palnackie. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Frequently. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.
Should you replace it?
Basins are often 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. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
