About our sink repair in Colden
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We work on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most frequently call us about chips around the rim and cracks around the tap holes or waste.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What we’re called out for in Colden
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Crazing in the glaze
- Chips around the rim
- Cracks starting at the waste
What to look for in a quote
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What happens if they find more damage
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Why repair rather than replace?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is usually the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
What a repair cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Widespread crazing
- Through cracks that let water out
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Colden. The price comes down to:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- Access to the area
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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
FAQs for Colden
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Colden.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the next day.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
