About our sink repair in South Alloa
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We work on enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people get in touch are knocks from hair straighteners and an original basin worth saving.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in South Alloa and across Stirling.

How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

South Alloa questions
How do I get a price for sink repair in South Alloa?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your FK7 postcode.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Why repair rather than replace?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
