About our sink repair in West End
Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. Our repair technicians work on enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are a crack near the taps and an antique basin with chips.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in West End and across Edinburgh.

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Do not overtighten taps
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid abrasive pads
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
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.
Questions from West End
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

- Leaks from the fittings
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
