Sink Repair for Aberlemno homes
Chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins in Aberlemno, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
About our sink repair in Aberlemno
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. We are often asked to fix a chipped basin edge and a period basin that needs restoring, in vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Common problems we fix in Aberlemno
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- An original basin worth saving
- Chips around the rim
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Fine cracks across the glaze
What to look for in a quote
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Aberlemno
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
