Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Widespread crazing
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A basin cracked through and leaking

What we do, step by step
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Common questions in Dry Sandford
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Usually, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Get chips repaired early
- Do not overtighten taps
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 often lifts.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Signs you need sink repair in Dry Sandford
Fine crazing in the glaze is typically down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A chipped basin edge
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- A crazed, tired basin
