Sink repair in Toab, done in place
If the whole basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. If you are dealing with a chipped vanity basin and a crack near the taps, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Repairing versus replacing in Toab
A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

What affects the price in Toab
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Toab. The price reflects:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A photo taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Toab questions
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across the Orkney Islands.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
