How we handle sink repair in Thurso
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. If you’re dealing with knocks from hair straighteners and chips on a built-in basin, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- 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.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
What you get with us

Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For anyone letting property in or around Thurso, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
What we cannot put right
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Widespread crazing
- Through cracks that let water out
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we work on in Thurso

How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Do not overtighten taps
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Your questions about sink repair in Thurso
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Highland.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Are there extra charges for Thurso?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
