We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Coldharbour?

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a couple of hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

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

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Coldharbour. What changes the price is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is

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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Coldharbour, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What we cannot put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Coldharbour

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
