DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Most customers in Craigrothie get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Craigrothie, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Craigrothie use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
FAQs for Craigrothie
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
What happens after I send pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
What we’re called out for in Craigrothie
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, and some happen during bathroom refits.
People usually call us when they notice something like this:

Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
