Trusted sink repair in St Katherines

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

What you get with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

St Katherines questions

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you cover the entire of Aberdeenshire?

We work UK-wide, so St Katherines is covered. Prices do not change with location.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the whole basin
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your AB51 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Widespread crazing
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Vanity unit basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Enamelled basins
