Sink Repair in Dornoch

- Repairs from £95

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use mild cleaners only
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Repair or replace in Dornoch?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why book with us

What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
