Questions from Coates
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Coates and the rest of Gloucestershire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, 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.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
For anyone letting property in or around Coates, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Repairing versus replacing in Coates
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
What you get with us
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- A fixed quote before you book
- One price list for the entire UK
- Usually one visit, start to finish

How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
