Sink repair in Hillhead without replacing anything
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people contact us are crazing in the glaze and cracks starting at the waste.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Glasgow.

Your questions about sink repair in Hillhead
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Hillhead?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Widespread crazing
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaks from the fittings
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a couple of hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the whole basin
Most clients in Hillhead get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Landlord and trade work in Hillhead
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use mild cleaners only
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Repair chips before they stain
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
