Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Crossford: what to know about sink repair
If you live in one of the older homes near a church such as Crossford Church, it may still have original basins or a period toilet, which are worth repairing rather than replacing.
Crossford is about 3 miles south-west of Carluke, in South Lanarkshire. Our technicians come to clients in Crossford and the surrounding area, so there’s no workshop to go to. Crossford is one of 139 places in South Lanarkshire we cover. You can also see our page for Glasgow, about 19 miles away.
Every address in ML8 is covered for sink repair, from the main roads to the quietest streets. Whether your basin is in a home on Holm Road, Smugglers Brig Road and Dark Brig Road or a nearby road, a technician can come to you. Close by, we cover Braidwood (1 mile north-east), Carluke (3 miles north-east), Law (4 miles north), Wildmanbridge (4 miles north) and Bogside (4 miles north). We also work in nearby towns such as East Kilbride (13 miles west), Hamilton (9 miles north-west), Cambuslang (14 miles north-west), Uddingston (12 miles north-west), Blantyre (11 miles north-west) and Larkhall (5 miles north-west).
Local landmarks in Crossford

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. For a rural home like those around Crossford, a replacement means trades travelling out and waste being taken away, while a repair is a single visit.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
