DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Sink repair at your home in Boddam
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. If you’re dealing with knocks from hair straighteners and fine cracks across the glaze, we can generally put it right.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Do not overtighten taps
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
When we would advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Leaks from the fittings
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
