Your questions about sink repair in Lybster
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Highland, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Are there extra charges for Lybster?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
How we handle sink repair in Lybster
We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. If you are dealing with chips on a built-in basin and a crazed, tired basin, we can help.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Highland.

Other services in Lybster
Different materials, different repairs
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.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaks from the fittings
- Through cracks that let water out
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

What we’re called out for in Lybster
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A chipped vanity basin
- Cracks starting at the waste
- A chipped basin edge
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
What to look for in a quote
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the price covers travel
- What happens if they find more damage
- How your room will be protected
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
