For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Torry use us as well as householders. 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.

A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Questions from Torry
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you cover Torry?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Torry from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can I fix it myself?
If you are 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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Repair chips before they stain
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Should you replace it?
A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the whole basin
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
