How we handle sink repair in Finnieston
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We regularly repair vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins, and common reasons people contact us are a crazed, tired basin and damage to a basin in a vanity unit.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Avoid abrasive pads
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Widespread crazing
- Plumbing leaks
- Through cracks that let water out
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Finnieston use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A picture taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job without visiting.
