Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
For anyone letting property in or around Riverside, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Your questions about sink repair in Riverside
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
How much does sink repair cost in Riverside?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Stirling. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Repairing versus replacing in Riverside
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise 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.
Why us?
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Most jobs done in one visit

What affects the price in Riverside
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Riverside. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the whole basin
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use mild cleaners only
- Repair chips before they stain
- Store toiletries on a shelf
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
