About our sink repair in Glais
If the entire basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. If you are dealing with cracks starting at the waste and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, we can normally put it right, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

When to call us in Glais
Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- An original basin worth saving
- Crazing in the glaze
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Chips from dropped toiletries
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if they find more damage
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Who will actually do the work
When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Widespread crazing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins

Repairing versus replacing in Glais
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why book with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Everything repaired in place
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Glais. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
If you are in Glais and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Landlord and trade work in Glais
For anyone letting property in or around Glais, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Glais questions
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use gentle cleaners
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
