Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
How we handle sink repair in Laide
Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, matching the colour and gloss. The basin stays on the wall. Our technicians work on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people contact us are fine cracks across the glaze and a chipped basin edge.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Highland.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Get chips repaired early
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use gentle cleaners
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
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.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Plumbing leaks
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
