Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Repair or replace in Sandfields?
Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- Work done at your home or business
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Colour-matched on site

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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Sandfields. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A photo taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
If you are in Sandfields and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Common questions in Sandfields
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
What happens after I send photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
How soon can you come?
