Sink repair in Waterfoot without replacing anything
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is usually repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We are frequently asked to fix cracks around the tap holes or waste and chips from dropped toiletries, in enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

Waterfoot questions
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of East Renfrewshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us
- Work done at your home or business

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Waterfoot
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Waterfoot as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
