DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Sink repair in Sandness, done in place
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. We regularly repair antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people contact us are a chipped vanity basin and an antique basin with chips.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Get chips repaired early
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
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 happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the following day.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know about parking or access

Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Sandness. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. 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 Sandness as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
