How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Aboyne. The price reflects:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

About our sink repair in Aboyne
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Common call-outs are for a period basin that needs restoring and crazing in the glaze, on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Aboyne and across Aberdeenshire.

How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Why repair rather than replace?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Aboyne. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Related advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
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.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
