Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

About Harray
Harray is about 9 miles north-west of Kirkwall, in the Orkney Islands. Our work suits any type of property, from flats and terraces to detached houses and new builds, as well as offices, shops and holiday lets. Our technicians cover all 51 towns and villages in the Orkney Islands, from the larger towns to small villages.
We work across KW17. We also travel to Bimbister (1 mile south), Russland (1 mile west), Grimeston (2 miles south), Hourston (2 miles north-west) and Wasbister (3 miles south-west). Remote and island addresses take a little more planning, so it’s best to call first.
Landmarks near Harray
Our clients here include homes close to Grimeston Congregational Chapel, among other places. Well-known places in the area include Corrigall Farm Museum (1.4 miles north). Not far away are Kame of Corrigall and Brodgar RSPB Reserve.
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Harray questions
Can you repair a cracked basin?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What happens after I send pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
Most clients in Harray get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Common problems we fix in Harray
Fine crazing in the glaze is typically down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A crazed, tired basin
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Chips on a built-in basin
Questions to ask before you book
- Who will actually do the work
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether the price covers travel
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Repair or replace in Harray?
A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most chips. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Ensure the area is dry
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
