How sink repair works in North Lanarkshire

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most frequently call us about a chipped basin edge and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Should you replace it?

A new basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place.

What your quote should include

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How to care for the finish
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How soon you can use it again

What we’re called out for in North Lanarkshire

Fine crazing in the glaze is typically down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • Cracks starting at the waste

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Landlords, agents and businesses in North Lanarkshire

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Common questions in North Lanarkshire

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

What information do you need?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
