Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Sand Hutton. What changes the price is:
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Common questions in Sand Hutton
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.
Are there extra charges for Sand Hutton?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
When we’d advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Widespread crazing
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Landlord and trade work in Sand Hutton
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep a parking space free if you can
