How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

About our sink repair in Coillore

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. Common call-outs are for crazing in the glaze and cracks starting at the waste, in antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Repair or replace in Coillore?

A new basin frequently means 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. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

When we would advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Coillore. The price comes down to:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

For a price in Coillore, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Coillore: your questions answered

Do you work in Coillore?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Coillore. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Do I have to be there?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

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

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a couple of hours for most chips from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
