Advice
How we handle sink repair in Parkhead
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. We work on enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are a crazed, tired basin and cracks around the tap holes or waste.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
When to call us in Parkhead
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Chips around the rim
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
Comparing quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Widespread crazing
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaks from the fittings

Why repair rather than replace?
A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
What you get with us
- Same prices wherever you are
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- A picture taken from further back
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
