Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use gentle cleaners
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How much does sink repair cost in Uddingston?

Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Repairs by material
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
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.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
What sink repair costs

- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your G71 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
