Sink repair at your home in Sandford

If the whole basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. We regularly repair antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people contact us are damage to a basin in a vanity unit and an original basin worth saving.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Use gentle cleaners

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features 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, with colour mixed on site.

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Sandford: your questions answered

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What does sink repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do you come to Sandford?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Sandford for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What affects the price in Sandford

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Sandford. The price reflects:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Every job is a little different, 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.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Should you replace it?

Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

What you get with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Same prices wherever you are
