Sink repair in Whitecraigs without replacing anything
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. Our repair technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people contact us are an antique basin with chips and chips on a built-in basin.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Whitecraigs questions
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Do you cover Whitecraigs?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Whitecraigs and the rest of Glasgow. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Common problems we fix in Whitecraigs
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Crazing in the glaze
- Chips on a built-in basin
Questions to ask before you book
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What aftercare is recommended
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
For a price in Whitecraigs, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Repairing versus replacing in Whitecraigs
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- One visit for most repairs
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Same prices wherever you are
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
