How we handle sink repair in Gledhow
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. Our repair technicians work on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are a crazed, tired basin and a period basin that needs restoring.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Repairing versus replacing in Gledhow
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. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Plumbing leaks
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Gledhow
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
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 and we will handle the rest.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Gledhow. What changes the price is:
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Gledhow. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
Most clients in Gledhow get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Common problems we fix in Gledhow
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Chips on a built-in basin
- A period basin that needs restoring
What your quote should include
- How your room will be protected
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How to care for the finish
Common questions in Gledhow
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you come to Gledhow?
We do. Technicians travel to Gledhow from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
