The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most chips for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know about parking or access

Repair or replace in Braehead?
A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
What you get with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- One price list for the whole UK
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
Read our prices page.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Signs you need sink repair in Braehead
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Crazing in the glaze
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Chips on the rim or front edge
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Who will actually do the work
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What aftercare is recommended
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Other services in Braehead
Landlords, agents and businesses in Braehead
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Plumbing leaks
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Braehead: your questions answered
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Is repairing better 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.
