How we handle sink repair in Scotland
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. We are often asked to fix chips on a built-in basin and a crazed, tired basin, across vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Where we work around Scotland
Scotland is about 2 miles north of Horsforth, in Leeds. Wherever you are in the LS18 postcode area, a technician comes to you. Scotland is one of 198 places in Leeds where we work.
Our visits in LS18 work the same way as everywhere else we cover. Nearby, we also work in Moor Side (1 mile north), Cookridge (1 mile east), Tinshill (1 mile south-east), Horsforth (2 miles south) and Rawdon (2 miles south-west).

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can price the job without visiting.
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid abrasive pads
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Common problems we fix in Scotland
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- An original basin worth saving
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Crazing in the glaze
Before booking anyone
- How your room will be protected
- If travel is included in the price
- Who will actually do the work
- How soon you can use it again
Should you replace it?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Scotland. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Questions from Scotland
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How much does sink repair cost in Scotland?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your LS18 postcode.
How the visit works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
If you are in Scotland and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we cannot put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Widespread crazing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
