Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Sink repair at your home in Hillhouse
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We regularly repair enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins, and people most often call us about chips on a built-in basin and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in South Lanarkshire.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use gentle cleaners
- Repair chips before they stain
- Don’t overtighten taps
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
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.
When we’d advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Plumbing leaks
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Hillhouse

Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
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.
