Sink repair in Colston without replacing anything
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is normally repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. If you are dealing with chips on a built-in basin and cracks starting at the waste, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Why repair rather than replace?
A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Questions from Colston
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do you cover the entire of Glasgow?
The entire UK, including all of Glasgow. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For a price in Colston, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
