Crathes questions
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- A picture taken from further back
If you are in Crathes and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Plumbing leaks
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin that moves on its brackets
