Sink repair in Kilmaluag, done in place
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We are often asked to fix chips from dropped toiletries and a crack near the taps, in ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

How the visit works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Your questions about sink repair in Kilmaluag
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Highland.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Generally, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaks from the fittings
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

When to call us in Kilmaluag
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Chips on the rim or front edge
Questions to ask before you book
- What protection goes down before work starts
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A photo taken from further back
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Repairing versus replacing in Kilmaluag
Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. 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 photos.
