FAQs for Sandyhills

How do I get a price for sink repair in Sandyhills?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Will you remove the sink?

No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

What we can’t put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Enamelled basins

Signs you need sink repair in Sandyhills

Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Chips around the rim

Questions to ask before booking

  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

10 questions to ask before you book

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sandyhills

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
