Sink & basin repair in Lambhill, Glasgow
Our repair technicians come to Lambhill for chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Knocks from hair straighteners
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Sink repair in Lambhill, done in place
We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We regularly repair antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most often call us about a crazed, tired basin and an antique basin with chips.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Lambhill and across Glasgow.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Common questions in Lambhill
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Get chips repaired early
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What your basin is made of matters
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.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
When to call us in Lambhill
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- An antique basin with chips
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A chipped vanity basin

What affects the price in Lambhill
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Lambhill. The price reflects:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your G22 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
