Sink Repair for Fettercairn homes
Fixed-price sink repair in Fettercairn and the surrounding area, done in a single visit in most cases and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips on a built-in basin
- A chipped basin edge
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Fettercairn. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One picture of the whole basin
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
If you are in Fettercairn and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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, and the work is guaranteed.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Aberdeenshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
