Sink Repair across Aberdeenshire

Our sink repair service in Aberdeenshire

Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Typical jobs include knocks from hair straighteners and a chipped vanity basin, on antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It normally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

What it costs in Aberdeenshire

Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Common problems we fix in Aberdeenshire

Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.

Common reasons people in Aberdeenshire contact us include:

  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • Knocks from hair straighteners

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Plumbing leaks
  • Through cracks that let water out

Repairing versus replacing

A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is.

Questions to ask before you book

  • How the colour is matched
  • How to care for the finish
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • If travel is included in the price

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Aberdeenshire questions

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Aberdeenshire.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
