About our sink repair in Sinclairston
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. Typical jobs include fine cracks across the glaze and a crack near the taps, across enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Sinclairston
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Sinclairston: your questions answered
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Sinclairston.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Sinclairston?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Often. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
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, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Signs you need sink repair in Sinclairston
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Cracks starting at the waste
- A chipped vanity basin
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Chips around the rim
