Sink repair in Balsall Common, done in place
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We work on antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins, and common reasons people contact us are chips on a built-in basin and fine cracks across the glaze.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Balsall Common and across Coventry.

- A basin cracked through and leaking
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A picture taken from further back
For a price in Balsall Common, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
How the visit 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 work takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Open a window if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job.
Advice
Do you need sink repair in Balsall Common?
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A chipped basin edge
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Should you replace it?
A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What else we do in Balsall Common
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Do not overtighten taps
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Balsall Common questions
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you cover the whole of Coventry?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
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.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
