How we handle sink repair in Pollokshaws
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. If you are dealing with knocks from hair straighteners and crazing in the glaze, we can typically put it right, on antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What we are called out for in Pollokshaws
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A crack near the taps
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Crazing in the glaze
- Chips on the rim or front edge

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Pollokshaws. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the entire basin
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
