Sink & basin repair in Fernhill, South Lanarkshire
Chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins at your home in Fernhill, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Repairs from £95
- A chipped vanity basin
- Cracks starting at the waste
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Use gentle cleaners
- Get chips repaired early
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
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.
How we handle sink repair in Fernhill
We repair bathroom basins, cloakroom basins, vanity units and period basins, whatever they’re made of. There is no plumbing to disconnect. We work on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are chips on the rim or front edge and chips on a built-in basin.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your G73 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Fernhill: your questions answered
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes Fernhill. Prices don’t change with location.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Are there extra charges for Fernhill?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
What we are called out for in Fernhill
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
The things customers generally mention when they call include:
- An antique basin with chips
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Chips around the rim
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
Comparing quotes
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether the price covers travel
- Who turns up on the day

What else we do in Fernhill
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- No need to remove anything
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
What we do, step by step
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
