Repair or replace in Anderston?
A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Widespread crazing
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use mild cleaners only
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Common problems we fix in Anderston
Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- An original basin worth saving
- A crack near the taps

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

FAQs for Anderston
Can you quote from photos?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
