Repairing versus replacing in Aberlour

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

What affects the price in Aberlour

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • The material

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • The material, if you know it

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

If you manage property in Aberlour, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

How it works

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 couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your AB38 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Related advice

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

Common questions in Aberlour

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can you quote from pictures?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Surface cracks can typically be repaired. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Common problems we fix in Aberlour

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • An antique basin with chips
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Cracks starting at the waste

Before you book anyone

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Our hiring checklist

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
