What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

- Open a window if you can

Your questions about sink repair in Strathbungo
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Common problems we fix in Strathbungo
Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Chips around the rim
What your quote should include
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Aftercare advice
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Who will actually do the work
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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, with colour mixed on site.

What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Through cracks that let water out
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Strathbungo. The price comes down to:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
