Sink repair in Stornoway without replacing anything
We match the glaze as well as the colour. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Our technicians work on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most often call us about crazing in the glaze and knocks from hair straighteners.
Around Stornoway, most of the basins we repair are in family bathrooms and cloakrooms. A chip is generally a short visit.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

About sink & basin repair
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Stornoway: your questions answered
Is it worth repairing old basins in a period home in Stornoway?
In most cases: original pieces are frequently better made and harder to replace. We’ll give you an honest view from pictures.
Do you take on commercial work in Stornoway?
Yes, commercial work is part of what we do. Photos and a few details are enough for a quote.
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 cover Stornoway?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Stornoway. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring all our kit in the van, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work. Around Stornoway, access and parking are generally easy. Mention a lane, gate or long drive when you book and we’ll plan for it.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space clear if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
For a price in Stornoway, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Advice
When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Through cracks that let water out
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
