When a repair is not the answer

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Enamelled basins

About our sink repair in Arden

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. We work on antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins, and common reasons people get in touch are chips around the rim and cracks around the tap holes or waste.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Glasgow.

Your questions about sink repair in Arden

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Will you remove the sink?

Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

What does sink repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
