What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the next day.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Your questions about sink repair in Scot Hay
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
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.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
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.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Scot Hay use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.
