About our sink repair in Tayport
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. We are frequently asked to fix a crack near the taps and chips on a built-in basin, across ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Do not overtighten taps
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know about parking or access

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A picture taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Repair or replace in Tayport?
A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- A crack that leaks right through the basin

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Common questions in Tayport
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Do you come to Tayport?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Tayport from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
