About our sink repair in Luthermuir
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We are often asked to fix crazing in the glaze and a chipped vanity basin, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Luthermuir. What changes the price is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Luthermuir. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

Common questions in Luthermuir
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Often. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Aberdeenshire.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Luthermuir?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Plumbing leaks
- Through cracks that let water out
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Why repair rather than replace?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How the visit works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a couple of hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
