What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Sandford. What changes the price is:
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
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 price 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:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A picture taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
The process
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your BH20 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Your questions about sink repair in Sandford
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Generally, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Should you replace it?
A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
