Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Sink repair at your home in Toryglen
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. Whether it’s damage to a basin in a vanity unit and a crazed, tired basin, we can help, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Toryglen. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, 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 anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
