Common problems we fix in Strathmartine
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- An antique basin with chips

- Chips on a built-in basin
- Cracks starting at the waste
What your quote should include

- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

- What happens if they find more damage
When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Strathmartine. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A picture taken from further back
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
FAQs for Strathmartine
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Repair chips before they stain
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
