What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- One picture of the entire basin
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your G42 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Sink repair in Govanhill without replacing anything
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. We are often asked to fix chips from dropped toiletries and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, in ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Govanhill questions
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Glasgow. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
What we cannot put right
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Through cracks that let water out
- Plumbing leaks
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
What we’re called out for in Govanhill
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- A chipped vanity basin
- A period basin that needs restoring

Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Why repair rather than replace?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
