Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wilkieston
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in West Lothian and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Get chips repaired early
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
When a repair is not the answer
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Widespread crazing
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
