Sands: your questions answered
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Send us pictures and we will tell you.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Will you remove the sink?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
About our sink repair in Sands
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. Typical jobs include chips on a built-in basin and an original basin worth saving, in antique & period basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Sands. The price reflects:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Get chips repaired early
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Related advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Why repair rather than replace?
A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Sands. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
What you get with us
- One price list for the whole UK
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
