What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Plumbing leaks
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Enamelled basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks

What we are called out for in Tollcross

Fine crazing in the glaze is usually down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • A crack near the taps
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools

What to look for in a quote

  • How the colour is matched
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What aftercare is recommended

Our hiring checklist

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Repair chips before they stain

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

FAQs for Tollcross

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Surface cracks can normally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you come to Tollcross?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Tollcross and the rest of Glasgow. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tollcross as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
