Sink repair in Charlestown of Aberlour without replacing anything

We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. Our repair technicians work on enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people get in touch are chips from dropped toiletries and damage to a basin in a vanity unit.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Plumbing leaks

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Should you replace it?

A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Your questions about sink repair in Charlestown of Aberlour

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you quote from pictures?

Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Do you cover Charlestown of Aberlour?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Charlestown of Aberlour and the rest of Moray. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed price.
