How we handle sink repair in Shotts
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We’re often asked to fix a chipped vanity basin and crazing in the glaze, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Landlord and trade work in Shotts
For anyone letting property in or around Shotts, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shotts use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Get chips repaired early
- Use gentle cleaners
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
What your basin is made of matters
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.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a couple of hours for most chips.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the day after.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your ML7 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Related advice
What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
