Sink repair at your home in Wigtown
We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. Whether it’s crazing in the glaze and knocks from hair straighteners, we can usually put it right, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

The process
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Should you replace it?
A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
What you get with us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- A fixed quote before you book
- One price list for the whole UK
- Generally one visit, start to finish

When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins

What else we do in Wigtown
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Avoid abrasive pads
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Wigtown questions
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Do you cover Wigtown?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Wigtown for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
