What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

What affects the price in Crosshill

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Crosshill. The price reflects:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

We price from photos so you don’t 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.

Should you replace it?

Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. The basin can generally be used later that day or the following day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear the area around the damage

Related advice

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Widespread crazing
  • Plumbing leaks
  • Through cracks that let water out

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Crosshill

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

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Crosshill questions

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire basin and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Glasgow.

Do you need sink repair in Crosshill?

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • A crack near the taps
  • An original basin worth saving
  • A chipped basin edge
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
