Sink repair in Sandling

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How we handle sink repair in Sandling

From cloakroom basins to period pieces, whatever they’re made of. Taps and wastes stay connected. If you’re dealing with a chipped basin edge and fine cracks across the glaze, we can help, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What affects the price in Sandling

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Sandling. What changes the price is:

  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the whole basin
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Landlord and trade work in Sandling

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sandling as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a couple of hours for most chips, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your CT21 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

When a repair is not the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Vanity unit basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
