What affects the price in Isbister
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the entire basin
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
Sink repair in Isbister without replacing anything
We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, matching the colour and gloss. The basin stays on the wall. Our technicians work on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins, and people most often call us about a chipped basin edge and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your KW17 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Related advice
Isbister: your questions answered
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across the Orkney Islands.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Why us?
- We leave the room as we found it
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- No extra charge for your area

How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
