Cornhill questions
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do you cover Cornhill?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Cornhill from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Cornhill and the rest of Aberdeenshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
When to call us in Cornhill
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- A crazed, tired basin
Questions to ask before booking
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- When it can be used again
- Whether they match the colour on site
What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Open a window if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Get chips repaired early
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Covering Cornhill
Cornhill is about 11 miles south-east of Buckie, in Aberdeenshire. Our work suits any type of property, old or new, large or small, as well as offices, shops and holiday lets. Cornhill is one of 161 towns and villages in Aberdeenshire where we work.
Postcode districts we cover here: AB45. We regularly work on streets such as Mid Street, Duff Terrace and Silverhillock and the roads around them. Nearby, we also work in Fordyce (4 miles north-west), Aberchirder (4 miles south-east), Portsoy (5 miles north), Boyndie (5 miles north-east) and Sandend (5 miles north).

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin that moves on its brackets
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
