Sink repair in Amcotts without replacing anything

We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. Nothing is taken off the wall. If you’re dealing with damage to a basin in a vanity unit and an antique basin with chips, we can help, on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins alike.

What affects the price in Amcotts

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Do you need sink repair in Amcotts?

Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, and some happen during bathroom refits.

  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Cracks starting at the waste

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Choosing a repair company

Landlord and trade work in Amcotts

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

Amcotts questions

Do you disconnect the taps?

No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Read our prices page.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Enamelled basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
