Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Auldcathie. The price reflects:
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Auldcathie. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- One picture of the entire basin
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use mild cleaners only
- Avoid abrasive pads
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Signs you need sink repair in Auldcathie

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
