Sink repair in St Andrews, done in place
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people get in touch are a crazed, tired basin and a chipped vanity basin.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy 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. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Should you replace it?
A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

Questions from St Andrews
Are there extra charges for St Andrews?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What areas do you cover?
All of Fife, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the whole basin
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
