Common questions in Scatness
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Scatness and the rest of the Shetland Islands. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Sink repair in Scatness without replacing anything
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. We’re often asked to fix a crack near the taps and chips around the rim, on vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Scatness. The price reflects:
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A photo taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Common problems we fix in Scatness
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A chipped vanity basin
- Cracks starting at the waste
- An original basin worth saving
- Fine cracks across the glaze
Before booking anyone
- Who turns up on the day
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How to care for the finish
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. 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 and leave the character intact.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Scatness
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know which floor the room is on
