Repair or replace in Drumchapel?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Our sink repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Drumchapel. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Our hiring checklist

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Drumchapel. The price reflects:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Get a quote

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
