Temple questions
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Temple.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Glasgow, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can normally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
About our sink repair in Temple
If the whole basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. We work on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most frequently call us about damage to a basin in a vanity unit and fine cracks across the glaze.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Repairing versus replacing in Temple
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

When to call us in Temple

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- An original basin worth saving
- Crazing in the glaze

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Landlord and trade work in Temple
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
For a price in Temple, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Widespread crazing
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins

How the visit works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- 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 the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
