DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What else we do in Sandbank
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Sandbank. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the entire basin
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaks from the fittings
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on

Related advice
Signs you need sink repair in Sandbank
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- A crack near the taps
- A period basin that needs restoring
- A chipped basin edge
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How long it needs to cure
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
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.
Sandbank: your questions answered
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

What your basin is made of matters

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
