What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Pathhead, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Landlord and trade work in Pathhead
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Can I fix it myself?
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 usually cheaper.
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.
Pathhead: your questions answered
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you cover Pathhead?
We do. We send a technician to Pathhead for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
How much does sink repair cost in Pathhead?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Do you cover the whole of Midlothian?
Everywhere in the UK, Pathhead included. Travel is included in the price.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Avoid abrasive pads
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
