Landlord and trade work in Walkerburn
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in the Scottish Borders and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Sink repair in Walkerburn without replacing anything
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We’re often asked to fix a chipped vanity basin and cracks around the tap holes or waste, in ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

Questions from Walkerburn
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you come to Walkerburn?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Walkerburn for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
How much does sink repair cost in Walkerburn?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your EH43 postcode.
What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Why repair rather than replace?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
What you get with us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Work done at your home or business
- Rooms protected and left tidy

What a repair cannot fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Do not overtighten taps
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
