How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. 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. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
How we price sink repair

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the entire basin

Peebles: your questions answered
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Do you come to Peebles?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Peebles from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first.
