Sink repair in Oldmeldrum without replacing anything
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. We’re frequently asked to fix cracks around the tap holes or waste and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, across enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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, and the work is guaranteed.

What affects the price in Oldmeldrum
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Do not overtighten taps
- Get chips repaired early
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Why repair rather than replace?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Questions from Oldmeldrum
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can typically be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
