Brough: your questions answered
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Brough, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Highland and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Through cracks that let water out
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaks from the fittings
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole basin
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
For a price in Brough, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Don’t overtighten taps
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
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.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
