Chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins for homeowners, landlords and businesses in West Wemyss. Free, fixed quotes from your pictures.
- Repairs from £95
- A chipped vanity basin
- An original basin worth saving
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Repair chips before they stain
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
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.

Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Typical jobs include a chipped vanity basin and cracks around the tap holes or waste, on antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins.

Why repair rather than replace?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Landlord and trade work in West Wemyss
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know which floor the room is on
