About our sink repair in Stirling
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. Whether it’s crazing in the glaze and a period basin that needs restoring, we can help.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Stirling. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
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.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job.

Should you replace it?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stirling use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the next day.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
- Make sure the area is dry

There’s 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 will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use gentle cleaners
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
When to call us in Stirling
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, 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.
