DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

What a repair cannot fix

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

  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Plumbing leaks
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

What your basin is made of matters

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

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Sandylands questions

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Usually, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What does sink repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Do you cover Sandylands?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Sandylands and the rest of Lancashire. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Landlord and trade work in Sandylands

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.
