Landlords, agents and businesses in Johnstonebridge
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use mild cleaners only
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Widespread crazing
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
