Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Lancashire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
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.
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
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Coates: your questions answered
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you cover the entire of Lancashire?
The whole UK, including all of Lancashire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Do you come to Coates?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Coates. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the whole basin
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Most customers in Coates get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
