For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Ollaberry, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Ollaberry. The price comes down to:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Why repair rather than replace?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Common questions in Ollaberry
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Which areas do you work in?
All of the Shetland Islands, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do you come to Ollaberry?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Ollaberry for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use gentle cleaners
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Common problems we fix in Ollaberry
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.

What your quote should include

What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
