About our sink repair in Rankinston
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We work on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are a crazed, tired basin and an original basin worth saving.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Make sure the area is dry

Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
What a repair cannot fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What affects the price in Rankinston
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Rankinston. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your KA6 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Why repair rather than replace?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
