About our sink repair in Clarkston
If the whole basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. We regularly repair enamelled basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are an antique basin with chips and chips around the rim.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repair or replace in Clarkston?

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit.

How the visit works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

FAQs for Clarkston

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Clarkston included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Repair chips before they stain
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Landlord and trade work in Clarkston
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
