Sink repair at your home in Hillhead
We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Our repair technicians work on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are chips on the rim or front edge and cracks around the tap holes or waste.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Questions from Hillhead
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The process
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
