Sink repair in Bishopbriggs, done in place

From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is usually repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. Our repair technicians work on antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are a period basin that needs restoring and knocks from hair straighteners.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Landlord and trade work in Bishopbriggs

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

If you manage property in Bishopbriggs, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

When a repair is not the answer

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Widespread crazing
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Bishopbriggs. The price reflects:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

For a price in Bishopbriggs, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

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, and the work is guaranteed.
