How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Sink repair at your home in Rutherglen
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is usually repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Our repair technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are damage to a basin in a vanity unit and an original basin worth saving.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Rutherglen questions
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use gentle cleaners
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Common problems we fix in Rutherglen
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Look out for these signs:
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A crazed, tired basin
Before booking anyone
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Repair or replace in Rutherglen?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Rutherglen. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the entire basin
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
