About our sink repair in Glenlochar
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. If you are dealing with chips from dropped toiletries and a period basin that needs restoring, we can usually put it right, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks alike.
Somewhere like Glenlochar, an older basin can be hard to match if replaced. A repair keeps everything matching.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Glenlochar and across Dumfries and Galloway.

What a repair cannot fix
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins frequently 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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Glenlochar
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Clean with mild, non-abrasive 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.

- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access

Advice
What affects the price in Glenlochar
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
