About our sink repair in Prestonfield
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. We are frequently asked to fix a crack near the taps and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, across ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use gentle cleaners
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
When to call us in Prestonfield
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Look out for these signs:
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- An original basin worth saving
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
Questions to ask before booking

What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
