Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

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

What affects the price in Caldmore

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Caldmore. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

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.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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

Signs you need sink repair in Caldmore

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Crazing in the glaze
  • An original basin worth saving
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Chips around the rim

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What preparation is included
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Aftercare advice

How to compare quotes

Honest limits

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

FAQs for Caldmore

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Typically, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed quote. There’s no obligation to book.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Normally one visit, start to finish

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
