Sink & basin repair in Allanton, North Lanarkshire
Chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins at your home in Allanton, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Repairs from £95
- A crazed, tired basin
- An antique basin with chips
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Sink repair in Allanton, done in place
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. We work on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are an antique basin with chips and a crack near the taps.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Should you replace it?
A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A picture taken from further back
For a price in Allanton, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Common problems we fix in Allanton
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Chips around the rim
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- An antique basin with chips
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long it needs to cure
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
