Sink & basin repair in Gunnista, Shetland Islands
Local sink repair for Gunnista: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- An original basin worth saving
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Gunnista. What changes the price is:
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- The material
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A picture taken from further back
You don’t 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 reply with a fixed quote.
Sink repair in Gunnista without replacing anything
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. If you are dealing with cracks starting at the waste and chips on a built-in basin, we can typically put it right.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How quickly can you book me in?

Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gunnista as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Do not overtighten taps
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Repair or replace in Gunnista?
A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Common problems we fix in Gunnista

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Cracks starting at the waste
- An antique basin with chips
- A chipped vanity basin
- Fine cracks across the glaze
What your quote should include
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Who will actually do the work
- How soon you can use it again
How it works
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
