Portlethen: your questions answered
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Are there extra charges for Portlethen?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Usually, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Aberdeen.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you cover Portlethen?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Portlethen and the rest of Aberdeen. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Portlethen. The price comes down to:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Portlethen. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

- We degrease and key the damage.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know about parking or access

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
When to call us in Portlethen
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A chipped basin edge
- Crazing in the glaze
- Chips on a built-in basin
- An original basin worth saving
What your quote should include
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How the colour is matched
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What prep work is covered
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Portlethen
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
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 will fit around changeovers where we can.
When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use mild cleaners only
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
