How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Ensure the area is dry
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice
What a repair cannot fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Widespread crazing

What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Riverside of Blairs, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Riverside of Blairs. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
What you get with us
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Same prices wherever you are
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- A year’s guarantee on all work

Questions from Riverside of Blairs
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
