Before and after: a crack on the edge of a basin repaired

Repair or replace in Sidestrand?

A new basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Everything repaired in place
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

FAQs for Sidestrand

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

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Is repairing better 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 keep the maker’s mark?

Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Sidestrand. The price comes down to:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Send photos for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
