About our sink repair in Broomhill

We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Our technicians work on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins, and people most often call us about fine cracks across the glaze and a period basin that needs restoring.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Aberdeen.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

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.

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Leaks from the fittings

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
