DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Sink repair in Laurencekirk without replacing anything
Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people contact us are cracks starting at the waste and chips from dropped toiletries.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Laurencekirk as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
Your questions about sink repair in Laurencekirk
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Common problems we fix in Laurencekirk
Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.

- A chipped basin edge
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Cracks starting at the waste

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
We don’t 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.
Getting a price from photos
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- One picture of the entire basin
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your AB30 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
How it works
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
