Sink & basin repair in Quarter, South Lanarkshire
Damaged basin in Quarter? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Cracks starting at the waste
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
How we handle sink repair in Quarter
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. If you’re dealing with a period basin that needs restoring and fine cracks across the glaze, we can generally put it right, on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and enamelled basins alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Quarter and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Get chips repaired early
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Common questions in Quarter
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
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.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Plumbing leaks
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Quarter. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A photo taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
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 without visiting.

How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
