When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Widespread crazing
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Coldharbour use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, 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.
What we’re called out for in Coldharbour
Fine crazing in the glaze is usually down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Your questions about sink repair in Coldharbour
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Do you cover Coldharbour?
We do. Technicians travel to Coldharbour from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you cover the whole of Surrey?
Everywhere in the UK, Coldharbour included. Travel is included in the price.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire basin and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice
What affects the price in Coldharbour
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- One picture of the entire basin
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
