Local sink repair for Riddrie: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A chipped vanity basin
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
About our sink repair in Riddrie
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We work on antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most often call us about chips around the rim and crazing in the glaze.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Common questions in Riddrie
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you cover Riddrie?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Riddrie for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Plumbing leaks
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
