Repair or replace: which is better?

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Badachro questions

Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Highland.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
If you’re in Badachro and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
