Jobs in ML3 and G72 are booked in the same way as anywhere else. We regularly work on streets such as Aqua Avenue, Glamis Lane and Lauder Lane and the roads around them.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Signs you need sink repair in High Earnock
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Get chips repaired early
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
The process
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Point us to the nearest place to park
