How we handle sink repair in Stobswell
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. If you are dealing with chips on the rim or front edge and fine cracks across the glaze, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can price the job.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
FAQs for Stobswell

What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, normally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Dundee. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing 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 it into the surrounding surface.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
