How we handle sink repair in Edinburgh
On antique basins we repair around the maker’s mark where we can. Chips and cracks are repaired with the basin in place, so you don’t need a plumber. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and enamelled basins, and people most often call us about stains and worn glaze and broken corners and edges.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Edinburgh. Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
How the visit works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
Edinburgh questions
Do you work for landlords and businesses in Edinburgh?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders, hotels and homeowners in Edinburgh and the surrounding area.
Will I see the repair?
The colour is mixed on the day to match your basin, and the repair is polished to blend in.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you protect the room?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and clean up before we leave.
How soon can I use it again?
Usually by the next day, depending on what we’ve done. We’ll confirm the exact time when we finish.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes, usually. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Do you need sink repair in Edinburgh?
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste, where fittings are tightened against the ceramic.
