Sink & basin repair in Westfield, Edinburgh
Local sink repair for Westfield: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Chips from dropped toiletries
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Why repair rather than replace?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is normally best. Our sink repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

When we would advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Your questions about sink repair in Westfield
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
What areas do you cover?
All of Edinburgh, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Do you cover Westfield?
We do. Technicians travel to Westfield from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
