How we handle sink repair in Achiltibuie
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We regularly repair vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins, and common reasons people contact us are cracks around the tap holes or waste and chips around the rim.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

What a repair cannot fix
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Through cracks that let water out
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
FAQs for Achiltibuie
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Achiltibuie is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can normally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Achiltibuie. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the whole basin
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. 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.

Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
