How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Sandwith. The price comes down to:
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Sandwith. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Do you need sink repair in Sandwith?
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- A chipped basin edge
- An antique basin with chips
Before you book anyone
- How your room will be protected
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Who will actually do the work
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sandwith use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Related advice
What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaks from the fittings
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
