The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

We regularly repair enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins, and people most often call us about a chipped vanity basin and a chipped basin edge.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Lightburn and across Glasgow.

Repair or replace in Lightburn?
Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Lightburn questions
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your G32 postcode.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Normally, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A photo taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Plumbing leaks
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Surfaces we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
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.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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 usually the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
