How we handle sink repair in North Kessock
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. If you are dealing with crazing in the glaze and an original basin worth saving, we can normally put it right.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
If you’re in North Kessock and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
How the visit works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your IV1 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Honest limits
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Widespread crazing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin cracked through and leaking

Questions from North Kessock
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do you cover North Kessock?
We do. Technicians travel to North Kessock from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can typically be repaired. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.

How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use gentle cleaners
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Repairing versus replacing in North Kessock
A new basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
