Glespin: your questions answered
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Do you work in Glespin?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Glespin for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How we handle sink repair in Glespin
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Typical jobs include an original basin worth saving and fine cracks across the glaze, across enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Glespin
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Glespin as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear the area around the damage

Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Through cracks that let water out
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Glespin. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus

Can I fix it myself?
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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: 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.
