Sink repair in Craigo

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Sink repair in Craigo without replacing anything

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Whether it’s a chipped basin edge and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools, we can generally put it right, on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks alike.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Craigo and across Aberdeenshire.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Craigo. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash

Most customers in Craigo get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Common problems we fix in Craigo

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

Clients generally contact us about:

  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • Chips on a built-in basin

Before booking anyone

  • Who turns up on the day
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Craigo questions

How much does sink repair cost in Craigo?

Do you come to Craigo?

We do. We send a technician to Craigo for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Repair or replace in Craigo?

What a repair cannot fix

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

  • Widespread crazing
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Use mild cleaners only

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

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  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. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price
