How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t 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.

Why us?

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • No need to remove anything
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Kingussie. The price reflects:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:

  • One picture of the whole basin
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

For a price in Kingussie, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

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

Materials we repair

  • Enamelled basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Vanity unit basins

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Kingussie from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Do you cover the entire of Highland?

Across the UK, and that includes Kingussie. Prices do not change with location.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Use mild cleaners only

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Signs you need sink repair in Kingussie

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • A period basin that needs restoring

Questions to ask before booking

  • How your room will be protected

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Aftercare advice
