FAQs for Coldharbour
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Coldharbour. Prices do not change with location.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
The process
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Repairing versus replacing in Coldharbour

No two jobs are quite the same, 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.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
