Sink repair in Stoneykirk without replacing anything
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Our repair technicians work on antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people get in touch are a crack near the taps and a crazed, tired basin.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaks from the fittings
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
Questions from Stoneykirk
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Do you cover the whole of Dumfries and Galloway?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Stoneykirk. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Get chips repaired early
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Clean with mild, non-abrasive 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, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Stoneykirk. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
What affects the price in Stoneykirk
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
For a price in Stoneykirk, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
What we’re called out for in Stoneykirk
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Look out for these signs:
- An original basin worth saving
- A chipped vanity basin
- A crack near the taps
- A chipped basin edge
What your quote should include
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How changes to the job are handled
- How the room is protected while they work
- How soon you can use it again
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
