How we handle sink repair in Langside
If the whole basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins, and people most often call us about chips on a built-in basin and cracks starting at the waste.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the whole basin
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
Landlord and trade work in Langside
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Glasgow and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Widespread crazing
- Plumbing leaks

Common questions in Langside
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Typically, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Do not overtighten taps
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
How the visit works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the next day.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
