Our sink repair service in the Shetland Islands
From cloakroom basins to period pieces, in ceramic, composite and enamel. There’s no plumbing to disconnect. Common call-outs are for a crack near the taps and chips on a built-in basin, across ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins.
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a couple of hours for most chips.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
What you will pay
Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
What you get with us
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
How to get a price
If you are in the Shetland Islands and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Near you in Lerwick
In Lerwick, that means homes near St Margaret's Roman Catholic Church, Grand Hotel and Anderson High School, among other places. Other landmarks nearby include Gilbert Bain Hospital (under half a mile south) and Shetland Museum (within half a mile north-east). The countryside around Lerwick includes Setter Hill and Clickimin Loch.
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Widespread crazing
- Through cracks that let water out
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in the Shetland Islands as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for the Shetland Islands. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the entire basin
- Something in shot to show the size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Repairing versus replacing
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that.
What your quote should include
- What preparation is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether the price covers travel
the Shetland Islands: your questions answered
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across the Shetland Islands.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
