Trusted sink repair in Sandleford

What affects the price in Sandleford

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A photo taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Sink repair at your home in Sandleford

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are fine cracks across the glaze and chips on the rim or front edge.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why Sandleford clients choose us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

10 questions to ask before you book

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sandleford

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in West Berkshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Get chips repaired early

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
