About our sink repair in Dury
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. If you are dealing with a chipped vanity basin and an antique basin with chips, we can generally put it right, on enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks alike.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in the Shetland Islands.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Dury. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One picture of the entire basin
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Common problems we fix in Dury
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- An original basin worth saving
- Cracks starting at the waste
- A chipped vanity basin
What your quote should include

For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in the Shetland Islands and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Dury questions
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
