Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use mild cleaners only
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the whole basin
- The material, if you know it
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your EH9 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Blackford, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Blackford use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Repair or replace in Blackford?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
