We regularly repair antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are cracks around the tap holes or waste and fine cracks across the glaze.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

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

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

What affects the price in Greenrigg

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Greenrigg. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Greenrigg

  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Enamelled basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

For anyone letting property in or around Greenrigg, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Greenrigg questions

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Greenrigg and the rest of North Lanarkshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Should you replace it?

Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
