About our sink repair in Stenhouse
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Whether it’s chips around the rim and chips on a built-in basin, we can generally put it right, on antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Do not overtighten taps
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
FAQs for Stenhouse
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Edinburgh.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Stenhouse?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your EH11 postcode.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do you cover the whole of Edinburgh?
Everywhere in the UK, Stenhouse included. Travel is included in the price.
Do you come to Stenhouse?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Stenhouse. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
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 price the same day in most cases.
Advice
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Edinburgh and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Do you need sink repair in Stenhouse?
Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.
Look out for any of the following:

What affects the price in Stenhouse
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We do not add 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.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
