Landlord and trade work in Cofton Common

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Work done at your home or business

See our pricing.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Cofton Common questions

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

In many cases. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.

Do I need to be at home?

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

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
