FAQs for Elsrickle
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

If the whole basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. Whether it’s knocks from hair straighteners and a crack near the taps, we can help, whatever the material.

How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Any details about the material
For a price in Elsrickle, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
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 doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
When we would advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
When to call us in Elsrickle
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, and some happen during bathroom refits.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
What to look for in a quote
- When it can be used again
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Landlords, agents and businesses in Elsrickle
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in South Lanarkshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
