What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Govan. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
What your basin is made of matters
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 them sympathetically.
What we’re called out for in Govan
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, along with damage during fitting.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Crazing in the glaze
- An antique basin with chips
- A chipped basin edge
- Chips on a built-in basin
What your quote should include
- How the room is protected while they work
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether a trained technician does the job
What we do, step by step
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a couple of hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Govan, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Get chips repaired early
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Repair or replace in Govan?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
