Sink repair in Lilybank, done in place

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Typical jobs include cracks starting at the waste and chips on a built-in basin, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Lilybank and across Glasgow.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lilybank

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

For anyone letting property in or around Lilybank, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Repair chips before they stain

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Your questions about sink repair in Lilybank

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Are there extra charges for Lilybank?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Our hiring checklist

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

Composite and resin

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt isn’t 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 pictures.

What affects the price in Lilybank

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
