Sink repair in Coalway, done in place
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Our technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and enamelled basins, and common reasons people contact us are damage to a basin in a vanity unit and cracks starting at the waste.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Coalway questions
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do you come to Coalway?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Coalway. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Coalway included. Travel is included in the price.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Widespread crazing
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Landlord and trade work in Coalway
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use gentle cleaners
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a couple of hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear the area around the damage
