Your questions about sink repair in Portessie
What areas do you cover?
All of Moray, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
What happens after I send pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Portessie, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
When to call us in Portessie
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- An antique basin with chips
- A chipped basin edge
- A crack near the taps
- Crazing in the glaze
Before booking anyone
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How long it needs to cure
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Portessie
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Portessie as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
