Sink repair in Ruchill, done in place
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is normally repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. We regularly repair antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most frequently call us about damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and chips on the rim or front edge.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The material
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Ruchill
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Get chips repaired early
- Don’t overtighten taps
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
FAQs for Ruchill
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will you remove the sink?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can normally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
