Sink & basin repair in Greenlea, Dumfries and Galloway
Fixed-price sink repair in Greenlea and the surrounding area, done in a single visit in most cases.
- Repairs from £95
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Chips on a built-in basin
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Should you replace it?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know about parking or access

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.
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 normally the cheaper route.
What we are called out for in Greenlea
Fine crazing in the glaze is usually down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A chipped vanity basin
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Chips around the rim
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What aftercare is recommended
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
What affects the price in Greenlea
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What else we do in Greenlea
Common questions in Greenlea
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Generally, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
When we’d advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Repairs by material
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.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
