How we handle sink repair in Houston
Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. Our technicians work on antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are cracks around the tap holes or waste and an original basin worth saving.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

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 finish the repair to the same sheen.
Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- A crack that leaks right through the basin

FAQs for Houston
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your PA6 postcode.
Are there extra charges for Houston?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Houston and the rest of Renfrewshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote. There’s no obligation to book.
Landlord and trade work in Houston
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
