Sink repair at your home in Glassford

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. We regularly repair vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most frequently call us about damage to a basin in a vanity unit and knocks from hair straighteners.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What affects the price in Glassford

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Glassford. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What we cannot put right

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Do you need sink repair in Glassford?

Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • A period basin that needs restoring

10 questions to ask before you book

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
