Sink repair in Port Elphinstone, done in place
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. We regularly repair enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins, and people most often call us about cracks starting at the waste and a chipped basin edge.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole basin
- The material, if you know it
Most customers in Port Elphinstone get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the day after.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Why repair rather than replace?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Questions from Port Elphinstone
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you cover the whole of Aberdeenshire?
Everywhere in the UK, Port Elphinstone included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can I fix it myself?
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 normally cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Common problems we fix in Port Elphinstone
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit

When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Widespread crazing
