Edinburgh's historic architecture presents unique challenges for sink repairs.

We've perfected our repair techniques in properties across all EH postcodes, from Cramond to Portobello, always delivering the same exceptional standard backed by our comprehensive warranty.

From the seaside properties of Portobello to the leafy suburbs of Colinton, we provide comprehensive sink repair services throughout Edinburgh's residential areas. Each neighbourhood has its characteristic property styles - Victorian villas in Morningside, 1930s bungalows in Corstorphine, modern developments in Leith - and we have experience with them all.
Our sink repair process has been refined over 30 years serving Edinburgh properties. Beginning with thorough cleaning and preparation, we remove all traces of limescale and old sealant - particularly important in older Edinburgh properties where years of use have taken their toll.
For chip repairs, we use colour-matched compounds that bond permanently with ceramic, porcelain, or resin surfaces. Multiple thin layers are applied and cured, building up the repair invisibly. Our technicians carry extensive colour samples to match any sink, from classic white to designer colours.
Crack repairs require specialist techniques to prevent spreading. We stabilise the crack using professional-grade adhesives, then fill and resurface the area. The repair is stronger than the original material, preventing future damage.
Full sink resurfacing transforms worn or stained sinks. After preparation, we apply primer and multiple topcoat layers using professional spray equipment. The result is a factory-perfect finish that's more durable than the original, backed by our 12-month warranty.
Every repair includes detailed aftercare instructions. We explain how to maintain your repaired sink, what cleaning products to use, and provide direct contact details should you have any questions during the warranty period.
Tenement Properties: Heavy Belfast sinks in Edinburgh's tenements often develop chips from decades of use. The weight makes replacement extremely difficult, especially in upper floors. Our in-situ repairs avoid this disruption entirely.
Period Features: Many Georgian and Victorian properties have original butler sinks or unusual period designs. These irreplaceable features require expert restoration to maintain property value and character.
Modern Apartments: Designer sinks in new developments like Quartermile or Edinburgh Park often use composite materials that crack under thermal stress. We repair these using specialised techniques that prevent recurring damage.
Hard Water Staining: Edinburgh's water can cause stubborn staining, particularly on white ceramic sinks. Our resurfacing service removes all discolouration, applying sealants that resist future staining.
Mrs Campbell contacted us about her Duravit designer sink in her Morningside villa. The contemporary grey resin sink had developed multiple chips around the tap area and a hairline crack extending from the overflow. As a premium German brand sink costing over £1,200 new, plus installation in a fitted vanity unit, replacement would have been expensive and disruptive.
Our senior technician arrived at the Craiglea Drive property within 24 hours. After protecting the bathroom's marble surfaces, we began by cleaning and preparing the damaged areas. The chips were filled with colour-matched resin, carefully built up in layers. The crack required stabilisation before filling to prevent any future spreading.
The entire repair took 3 hours, including full resurfacing of the basin to ensure a uniform finish. Total cost: £385, compared to over £2,000 for replacement. The repair is now 18 months old and still perfect, well beyond our 12-month warranty period. Mrs Campbell has since recommended us to three neighbours in the Morningside area.
The Thistle Tavern, a popular restaurant in the historic Grassmarket, needed urgent repair to their large commercial Belfast sink. Years of heavy use had caused extensive chipping around the edges and the glazing had worn thin in several areas. As a busy establishment, they couldn't afford downtime for replacement.
We scheduled the work for Monday morning when the restaurant was closed. Using our commercial-grade materials designed for heavy use environments, we repaired all chips and completely resurfaced the sink. Special attention was paid to high-wear areas, applying extra protective layers.
The work was completed in 4 hours, allowing the kitchen to open for evening service. Cost: £485, saving over £3,000 compared to commercial sink replacement and installation. With our 30 years experience in commercial repairs, we guaranteed the work would withstand the intensive use. One year later, the repair still looks perfect despite daily heavy use.
Single chip repair: £95-£145 - perfect for minor damage, includes colour matching and 12-month warranty.
Multiple chips: £145-£245 - economical repair of several chips in one visit.
Crack repair: £185-£285 - includes crack stabilisation and invisible filling.
Scratch removal: £125-£195 - eliminates surface scratches and restores shine.
Full resurfacing: £285-£485 - complete sink transformation, like new condition.
Belfast sink restoration: £385-£585 - specialist service for these heavy, valuable sinks.
Average ceramic sink replacement in Edinburgh: £800-£1,500 including sink, labour, and potential cabinet modifications.
