Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Don’t overtighten taps
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Plumbing leaks
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Knightswood
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Knightswood as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the entire basin
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
