Sink repair in Aberchirder, done in place

Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. We’re frequently asked to fix chips on a built-in basin and an antique basin with chips, in Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Common problems we fix in Aberchirder

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.

People generally call us when they notice something like this:

  • A crazed, tired basin
  • A chipped basin edge
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • A period basin that needs restoring

Questions to ask before you book

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How to care for the finish
  • How the colour is matched

10 questions to ask before you book

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Don’t overtighten taps

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

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.

FAQs for Aberchirder

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

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

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What happens after I send pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Aberchirder

  • Vanity unit basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Enamelled basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. The basin can typically be used later that day or the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
