Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the entire basin
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job.
Common questions in North Kelvinside
Do you cover the entire of Glasgow?
All of Glasgow, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Do you work in North Kelvinside?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to North Kelvinside from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How much does sink repair cost in North Kelvinside?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
What we can’t put right
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Widespread crazing
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
What we’re called out for in North Kelvinside
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- A chipped vanity basin
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- An antique basin with chips
Before booking anyone
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
- Repair chips before they stain
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
The process
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
