How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use mild cleaners only
- Get chips repaired early
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Should you replace it?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Glasgow and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Woodside. What changes the price is:
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- One picture of the entire basin
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin that moves on its brackets
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
When to call us in Woodside
Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.
Look out for these signs:
- An antique basin with chips
- A chipped basin edge
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Knocks from hair straighteners
Before booking anyone
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How the colour is matched
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What happens if they find more damage
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
