How we handle sink repair in Sandhills

We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. If you are dealing with a period basin that needs restoring and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, we can usually put it right.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. 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, a professional repair is worth it.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

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

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

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.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

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 over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Why repair rather than replace?

A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

When to call us in Sandhills

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • A chipped basin edge

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How long it needs to cure
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the price covers travel
