Sink repair at your home in Redburn
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is normally repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. We work on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people contact us are a chipped vanity basin and knocks from hair straighteners.

What we can’t put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Redburn, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Should you replace it?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Colour mixed on the day to match

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 often lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Get chips repaired early
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Redburn as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
FAQs for Redburn

How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
