What affects the price in Achnacroish
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
About our sink repair in Achnacroish
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Whether it’s damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and cracks starting at the waste, we can help.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Repairing versus replacing in Achnacroish
A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
