DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
About our sink repair in Seafield
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. Our technicians work on vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most frequently call us about chips on the rim or front edge and cracks starting at the waste.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Seafield: your questions answered
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Which areas do you work in?
All of West Lothian, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Seafield. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Repairing versus replacing in Seafield
A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Seafield. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Common problems we fix in Seafield
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Crazing in the glaze
- A chipped vanity basin
- Chips around the rim
- A crack near the taps
Questions to ask before booking
- How the room is protected while they work
- What happens if they find more damage
- What prep work is covered
- How to look after the finish
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
