Portree: your questions answered
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
How we handle sink repair in Portree
Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, matching the colour and gloss. The basin stays on the wall. If you are dealing with a period basin that needs restoring and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Portree
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Portree use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
