What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Tobermory. The price reflects:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
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.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Common questions in Tobermory
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you come to Tobermory?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Tobermory. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you cover the whole of Argyll and Bute?
We work UK-wide, so Tobermory is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
What you get with us
- One visit for most repairs
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- One-year guarantee on every repair

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Do not overtighten taps
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Advice
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
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.
What we can’t put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Plumbing leaks
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
