Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Do you cover the entire of South Lanarkshire?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
How we handle sink repair in Symington
We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. If you’re dealing with fine cracks across the glaze and a crack near the taps, we can typically put it right.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in South Lanarkshire.

What affects the price in Symington
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates

- The material, if you know it

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price

Related advice
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Get chips repaired early
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Do not overtighten taps
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
