Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Downiehills. The price comes down to:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
Most customers in Downiehills get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Widespread crazing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
When to call us in Downiehills
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Common reasons people in Downiehills contact us include:
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Chips on a built-in basin
- A chipped basin edge
- A crack near the taps
Before booking anyone
- Who turns up on the day

FAQs for Downiehills
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Do you cover Downiehills?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Downiehills and the rest of Aberdeenshire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Downiehills.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Landlord and trade work in Downiehills
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Should you replace it?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why us?
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- One visit for most repairs
- A year’s guarantee on all work

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use gentle cleaners
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
