Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

What affects the price in Crookston

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better

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

Materials we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Cracks starting at the waste

Before you book anyone

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • When it can be used again
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Choosing a repair company

Crookston: your questions answered

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Typically, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

How much does sink repair cost in Crookston?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Crookston.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
