How we handle sink repair in Polton
We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. If you’re dealing with crazing in the glaze and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools, we can usually put it right, on enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks alike.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Should you replace it?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Polton: your questions answered
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
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.
Do you cover the entire of Midlothian?
Across the UK, and that includes Polton. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is it worth repairing rather 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.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- The material
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Polton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
