Should you replace it?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Your questions about sink repair in Rora
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you cover Rora?
We do. We send a technician to Rora for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- 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 you will get a fixed figure back.
When to call us in Rora
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- A crack near the taps
- A crazed, tired basin
- An original basin worth saving
What your quote should include
- How soon you can use it again
- How your room will be protected
- What preparation is included
- Aftercare advice
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Rora
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Aberdeenshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
