Sink repair in Greenlees

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

From cloakroom basins to period pieces, whatever they’re made of. Taps and wastes stay connected. Common call-outs are for a period basin that needs restoring and chips from dropped toiletries, on Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins.

Before and after: a crack on the edge of a basin repaired

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Greenlees: your questions answered

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Surface cracks can normally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.

Which areas do you work in?

All of South Lanarkshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

What does sink repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do you come to Greenlees?

We do. We send a technician to Greenlees for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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 often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

Why book with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Signs you need sink repair in Greenlees

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

Most people contact us after spotting one of these:

  • A crack near the taps
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • An antique basin with chips
  • Fine cracks across the glaze

Comparing quotes

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What preparation is included
  • Who will actually do the work

Choosing a repair company

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Enamelled basins
  • Vanity unit basins
