How we handle sink repair in Altnaharra
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Our repair technicians work on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are chips on a built-in basin and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Highland.

Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Altnaharra as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Your questions about sink repair in Altnaharra
Do you cover Altnaharra?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Altnaharra from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Altnaharra included. Travel is included in the price.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Are there extra charges for Altnaharra?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Widespread crazing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can price the job without visiting.
Advice
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A picture taken from further back
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your IV27 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
