Common questions in Bucksburn
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
How much does sink repair cost in Bucksburn?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you cover the entire of Aberdeen?
The entire UK, including all of Aberdeen. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
