Landlord and trade work in Sandy Balls
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
Sink repair in Sandy Balls without replacing anything
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. Common call-outs are for cracks starting at the waste and chips from dropped toiletries, in vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hampshire.

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Repair chips before they stain
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, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Sandy Balls: your questions answered
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
