Common questions in Sandford
How much does sink repair cost in Sandford?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your EX17 postcode.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do you work in Sandford?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Sandford for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
What happens on the day
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the area is dry
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Through cracks that let water out
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Repair or replace in Sandford?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- Work done at your home or business
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Everything repaired in place
- Rooms protected and left tidy

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

- A crack near the taps
- An original basin worth saving
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
Comparing quotes

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Sandford. What changes the price is:
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Details of any past repairs
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
