- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Sink repair in Longside without replacing anything
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We work on antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people contact us are crazing in the glaze and an antique basin with chips.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Longside and across Aberdeenshire.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
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.

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Use gentle cleaners
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can price the job without visiting.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Repair or replace in Longside?
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. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
