Landlord and trade work in Cold Cotes

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

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.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

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

What we work on

  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks

Repair or replace: which is better?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, 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.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Choosing a repair company

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
