How we handle sink repair in Scottish Borders
Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. Our technicians work on enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people contact us are chips from dropped toiletries and cracks around the tap holes or waste.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

FAQs for Scottish Borders
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you cover the whole of the Scottish Borders?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Should you replace it?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
