Book sink repair in Blackhill

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Whether it’s a period basin that needs restoring and chips around the rim, we can help, whatever the material.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Blackhill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Glasgow and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Should you replace it?

A new basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

10 questions to ask before you book

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

What we cannot put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Leaks from the fittings

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Blackhill

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

What affects the price in Blackhill

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Blackhill. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
