Questions from Bellahouston
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Usually, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Do not overtighten taps
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Bellahouston, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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.

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Plumbing leaks

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
