Do you need sink repair in Sandringham?
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Chips around the rim
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
Before you book anyone
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What happens if they find more damage
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid abrasive pads
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Questions from Sandringham
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
What we cannot put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Widespread crazing
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Related advice
What affects the price in Sandringham
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the whole basin
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Sandringham, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
