About our sink repair in Smeaton
If the entire basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. We work on antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins, and common reasons people contact us are a crazed, tired basin and chips around the rim.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Smeaton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
What affects the price in Smeaton
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Smeaton. The price comes down to:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings

Smeaton questions
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Smeaton is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across East Lothian.
Do you need sink repair in Smeaton?
Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A chipped vanity basin
- Chips around the rim
- A crack near the taps
- Knocks from hair straighteners
Before you book anyone
- How changes to the job are handled
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Aftercare advice
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
