Sink Repair for Aberdeen homes
Fixed-price sink repair in Aberdeen and the surrounding area, done in a single visit in most cases and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Cracks starting at the waste
- A period basin that needs restoring
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
How we handle sink repair in Aberdeen
From cloakroom basins to period pieces, whatever they’re made of. There’s no plumbing to disconnect. We regularly repair antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins, and common reasons people get in touch are a crazed, tired basin and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Aberdeen questions
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Aberdeen
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
Do you need sink repair in Aberdeen?
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A chipped basin edge
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
What your quote should include
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Who turns up on the day
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

What else we do in Aberdeen
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use mild cleaners only
- Get chips repaired early
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Use gentle 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. Early repair keeps it a small job.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
