Sink Repair in Urquhart
Chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins in Urquhart, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- An original basin worth saving
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use mild cleaners only
- Get chips repaired early
- Don’t overtighten taps
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Sink repair at your home in Urquhart
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We work on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most often call us about chips on a built-in basin and cracks starting at the waste.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

For landlords and businesses

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.
Urquhart questions
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you work in Urquhart?
We do. We send a technician to Urquhart for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Moray. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
Most customers in Urquhart get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What affects the price in Urquhart
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Urquhart. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
