Sink repair in Ruchazie

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

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.

How we handle sink repair in Ruchazie

We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. Whether it’s chips on a built-in basin and an antique basin with chips, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What your basin is made of matters

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.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Our sink repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Ruchazie: your questions answered

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do you cover the entire of Glasgow?

We cover the entire UK, including Ruchazie and the rest of Glasgow. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

How much does sink repair cost in Ruchazie?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

The process

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, tidy-up included.

  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. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Make sure the area is dry

Ask for a price

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your G33 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
