Sink repair in Cold Overton, done in place
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We work on vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are an antique basin with chips and cracks starting at the waste.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Rutland.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
What affects the price in Cold Overton
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A basin cracked through and leaking
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Questions from Cold Overton
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Cold Overton?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Are there extra charges for Cold Overton?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
