Sink repair in Arabella without replacing anything
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. Our repair technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are chips on the rim or front edge and chips from dropped toiletries.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Arabella. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One picture of the entire basin
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Repair chips before they stain
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use mild cleaners only
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Common questions in Arabella
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
What areas do you cover?
All of Highland, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
What we do, step by step
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
