Common questions in Orphir
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can typically be repaired. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Orphir?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks

Repair or replace: which is better?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
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.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Make sure the area is dry
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
