How we handle sink repair in Royston
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is generally repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Our technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are fine cracks across the glaze and an antique basin with chips.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better

Common questions in Royston
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Glasgow.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Get chips repaired early
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Avoid abrasive pads
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t 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.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
