Questions from Whiteinch

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Glasgow.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Whiteinch?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your G11 postcode.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Whiteinch and the rest of Glasgow. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Sink repair in Whiteinch, done in place

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. We regularly repair vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people contact us are a period basin that needs restoring and knocks from hair straighteners.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Whiteinch. The price comes down to:

  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
