How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Landlord and trade work in Craigiebuckler

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Craigiebuckler as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Do you need sink repair in Craigiebuckler?

Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, and some happen during bathroom refits.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Chips around the rim
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • A chipped vanity basin

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Antique & period basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Questions from Craigiebuckler

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Do you cover the whole of Aberdeen?

We cover the entire UK, including Craigiebuckler and the rest of Aberdeen. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Usually, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Repair or replace in Craigiebuckler?

A basin is generally 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. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Do not overtighten taps

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
