Sink repair in Tweedbank without replacing anything
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. Our repair technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are chips from dropped toiletries and chips on a built-in basin.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

When to call us in Tweedbank
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- An antique basin with chips
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Fine cracks across the glaze

When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaks from the fittings
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- 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
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use mild cleaners only
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid abrasive pads
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
