About our sink repair in Ratho Station
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We work on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people contact us are a crazed, tired basin and chips around the rim.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Do you need sink repair in Ratho Station?
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
The things customers normally mention when they call include:
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A period basin that needs restoring
- A chipped basin edge
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
Questions to ask before booking
- Who turns up on the day
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How the room is protected while they work
- How changes to the job are handled
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
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. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ratho Station as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Why repair rather than replace?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Your questions about sink repair in Ratho Station
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
