About our sink repair in Shieldaig
Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. If you’re dealing with a crack near the taps and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools, we can normally put it right.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
What happens on the day
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
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.

Do you need sink repair in Shieldaig?
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A crazed, tired basin
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- A chipped vanity basin
Before you book anyone
- Who turns up on the day
- What prep work is covered
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
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.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
Most clients in Shieldaig get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Shieldaig questions
Do you come to Shieldaig?
We do. We send a technician to Shieldaig for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
