Uphall: your questions answered
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of West Lothian. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can normally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Landlord and trade work in Uphall
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Get chips repaired early
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

What else we do in Uphall
Signs you need sink repair in Uphall
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A chipped basin edge
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Crazing in the glaze
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Should you replace it?
A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
