What else we do in Ellon
Should you replace it?
A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
If you’re in Ellon and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Advice
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Common problems we fix in Ellon
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.
Look out for these signs:
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Chips on the rim or front edge

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Ellon. What changes the price is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your AB41 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ellon
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Your questions about sink repair in Ellon
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you quote from pictures?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
