About our sink repair in Aithsetter
If the entire basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. We regularly repair enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most frequently call us about a crack near the taps and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Aithsetter, and we will reply with a fixed price.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Open a window if you can

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your ZE2 postcode.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
