How we handle sink repair in Sandsend
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. Whether it’s chips on a built-in basin and cracks starting at the waste, we can typically put it right, on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use gentle cleaners
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Get chips repaired early
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Common questions in Sandsend

How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
What happens on the day
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
