How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

What affects the price in Coldblow

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

What we can’t put right

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

  • Plumbing leaks
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Widespread crazing

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  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. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Related advice

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

For anyone letting property in or around Coldblow, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Coldblow: your questions answered

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
