What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What else we do in Penicuik
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Common questions in Penicuik
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
What areas do you cover?
All of Midlothian, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Are there extra charges for Penicuik?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Landlord and trade work in Penicuik
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What we cannot put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Related advice
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Repair chips before they stain
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Signs you need sink repair in Penicuik
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Common reasons people in Penicuik contact us include:
- A crazed, tired basin
- An original basin worth saving
- A chipped vanity basin
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
