Sink repair in Torness, done in place
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Our technicians work on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are an original basin worth saving and fine cracks across the glaze.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Highland.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Your questions about sink repair in Torness
Do you cover the entire of Highland?
Everywhere in the UK, Torness included. There is no extra charge for travel.
What happens after I send photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Torness?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Generally, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Torness as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Avoid abrasive pads
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What happens on the day
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Torness, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Advice
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Why repair rather than replace?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
