How we handle sink repair in Scothern
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Whether it’s fine cracks across the glaze and chips on the rim or front edge, we can generally put it right, on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and enamelled basins alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Scothern: your questions answered
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Will you remove the sink?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What we cannot put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Plumbing leaks
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What affects the price in Scothern
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Landlord and trade work in Scothern
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use mild cleaners only
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
