DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Do you need sink repair in Glasshouse?
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Crazing in the glaze
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- A chipped vanity basin
- Chips around the rim
Questions to ask before booking
- When it can be used again
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Glasshouse. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates

- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your GL18 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

- The damage is cleaned and prepared.

Glasshouse questions
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Glasshouse as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Gloucestershire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
