DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Repairing versus replacing in Gartloch

A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why Gartloch customers choose us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • A fixed quote before you book

Gartloch: your questions answered

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

What does sink repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Surface cracks can generally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Do you cover Gartloch?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Gartloch from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Will there be a smell?

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

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send photos for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Common problems we fix in Gartloch

Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, along with damage during fitting.

Clients generally contact us about:

  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • Cracks starting at the waste

Questions to ask before booking

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  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. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice

What a repair can’t fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Through cracks that let water out

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
