FAQs for Skeabrae
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Are there extra charges for Skeabrae?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Send us photos and we will tell you.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Do you cover the whole of the Orkney Islands?
Across the UK, and that includes Skeabrae. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For a price in Skeabrae, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your KW17 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Landlord and trade work in Skeabrae
Letting agents often send us pictures 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.
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.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
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.
