Common questions in Portlethen Village
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do you cover the entire of Aberdeen?
Everywhere in the UK, Portlethen Village included. Travel is included in the price.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Do you cover Portlethen Village?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Portlethen Village and the rest of Aberdeen. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can normally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Don’t overtighten taps
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Repairing versus replacing in Portlethen Village
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Portlethen Village

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- The material, if you know it
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

- If travel is included in the price

When a repair is not the answer

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
