Sink repair at your home in Portnahaven
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We work on antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins, and people most often call us about chips from dropped toiletries and a chipped vanity basin.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Portnahaven and across Argyll and Bute.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
Your questions about sink repair in Portnahaven
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can typically be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Plumbing leaks
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Why repair rather than replace?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
