Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Repair or replace in Lesmahagow?

Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Your questions about sink repair in Lesmahagow

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Surface cracks can generally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Lesmahagow is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How much does sink repair cost in Lesmahagow?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.

What a repair can’t fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

  • Vanity unit basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Antique & period basins

What affects the price in Lesmahagow

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
