How we handle sink repair in West Barns
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. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins, and people most often call us about a crazed, tired basin and a chipped basin edge.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in West Barns
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in East Lothian and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Widespread crazing
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A picture taken from further back
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in West Barns, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Questions from West Barns
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Do you come to West Barns?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to West Barns for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Signs you need sink repair in West Barns
Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.
Look out for these signs:
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- An original basin worth saving
- Crazing in the glaze
- A chipped basin edge

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Other services in West Barns
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
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 usually the cheaper route.
