How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Wanlockhead. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Wanlockhead, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Plumbing leaks
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Wanlockhead

Common questions in Wanlockhead
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote. There’s no obligation to book.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
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, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
For landlords and businesses
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.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in South Lanarkshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear the area around the damage
