When we’d advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
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.

Why repair rather than replace?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Same prices wherever you are

How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Your questions about sink repair in South Gyle
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Edinburgh.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
