How we handle sink repair in Aberchalder

The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Aberchalder. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Aberchalder. The price comes down to:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.
Send photos for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One picture of the whole basin
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can price the job without visiting.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use gentle cleaners
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Aberchalder: your questions answered
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
