Sink repair at your home in Portknockie
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. We are frequently asked to fix fine cracks across the glaze and an original basin worth saving, on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What else we do in Portknockie
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Repairing versus replacing in Portknockie
Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: 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.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Portknockie questions
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
How much does sink repair cost in Portknockie?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
