Questions from Seafield
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Sink repair in Seafield, done in place
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We are often asked to fix crazing in the glaze and a period basin that needs restoring, across vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Seafield and across Edinburgh.

What else we do in Seafield
Landlord and trade work in Seafield
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
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. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. 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 check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- 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
- Ensure the area is dry
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Have a window or extractor fan available

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
