Before and after: a damaged ceramic basin restored

The process

On the day, 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 couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Should you replace it?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Questions from Neilston

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Do you cover Neilston?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Neilston and the rest of East Renfrewshire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Are there extra charges for Neilston?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What does sink repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed price. There’s no obligation to book.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Neilston. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

If you are in Neilston and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Neilston use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Leaks from the fittings

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Enamelled basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Antique & period basins
