Sink Repair for Tillydrone homes
Damaged basin in Tillydrone? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Sink repair in Tillydrone without replacing anything
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Whether it’s a chipped vanity basin and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools, we can typically put it right.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Can I fix it myself?
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 isn’t 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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Tillydrone
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Your questions about sink repair in Tillydrone
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Tillydrone.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
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 typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Typically, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice
Should you replace it?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
