If you are dealing with damage to a basin in a vanity unit and a chipped basin edge, we can generally put it right, on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins alike.

What we do, step by step

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Robroyston. The price comes down to:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Robroyston: your questions answered

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Landlord and trade work in Robroyston

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Widespread crazing
  • Plumbing leaks
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Antique & period basins

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Repairing versus replacing in Robroyston

A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

Why book with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

When to call us in Robroyston

Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.

Most people contact us after spotting one of these:

  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • Chips around the rim
