- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- A crack near the taps
- A period basin that needs restoring

Sink repair in Restalrig without replacing anything
If the entire basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. If you’re dealing with an antique basin with chips and crazing in the glaze, we can help, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Questions from Restalrig
Are there extra charges for Restalrig?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Take a look at our pricing.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us pictures 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.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Restalrig. The price reflects:
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
