How we handle sink repair in Castle Kennedy

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Get chips repaired early
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What affects the price in Castle Kennedy
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
What your basin is made of matters
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. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

FAQs for Castle Kennedy
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Do you work in Castle Kennedy?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Castle Kennedy from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price

What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks

Should you replace it?

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Castle Kennedy. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
What you get with us
- No extra charge for your area
- Fixed prices from your photos
- One visit for most repairs
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
