How we handle sink repair in Sandon

Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We work on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people contact us are cracks starting at the waste and chips around the rim.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Landlord and trade work in Sandon

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.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Sandon. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What a repair can’t fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

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

What we work on

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

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. The basin can usually be used later that day or the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

You don’t 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 quote.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Common problems we fix in Sandon

Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, and some happen during bathroom refits.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Chips around the rim
