DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Turriff. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
How the visit works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave 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.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your AB53 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Related advice
Turriff: your questions answered
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How much does sink repair cost in Turriff?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Landlord and trade work in Turriff
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Turriff as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
