When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

- Leaks from the fittings
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Questions from Braehead
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across South Lanarkshire.
Do you come to Braehead?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Braehead and the rest of South Lanarkshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Braehead and the rest of South Lanarkshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Common problems we fix in Braehead
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.

- Chips on a built-in basin
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Cracks starting at the waste
What to look for in a quote
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- When it can be used again
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How changes to the job are handled
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Braehead. The price reflects:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the whole basin
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
