Advice
Sink repair at your home in Portpatrick
Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. If you are dealing with chips from dropped toiletries and a period basin that needs restoring, we can typically put it right, on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins alike.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

What a repair cannot fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Repairing versus replacing in Portpatrick
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A photo taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your DG9 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
