Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rubislaw use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Sink repair in Rubislaw without replacing anything
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. If you’re dealing with fine cracks across the glaze and chips from dropped toiletries, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Signs you need sink repair in Rubislaw
Fine crazing in the glaze is usually down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A crack near the taps
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A chipped vanity basin
- Chips on the rim or front edge
What your quote should include
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How long it needs to cure
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours.

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Through cracks that let water out
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair

- Belfast and butler sinks

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
