About our sink repair in Coates
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is usually repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Our repair technicians work on antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are a crack near the taps and chips on a built-in basin.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Coates. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the whole basin
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Your questions about sink repair in Coates
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Get chips repaired early
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
For a price in Coates, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. 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.
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 normally cheaper.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Leaks from the fittings
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
