DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Questions from Sandylane

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sandylane

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 work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sandylane as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Sandylane. What changes the price is:

  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the entire basin

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your SA3 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Related advice

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

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.

Do you need sink repair in Sandylane?

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Knocks from hair straighteners

How to compare quotes

Why repair rather than replace?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why Sandylane clients choose us

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
