Sink repair at your home in Coldhurst
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Typical jobs include an antique basin with chips and knocks from hair straighteners, in Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Coldhurst questions
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
How much does sink repair cost in Coldhurst?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your OL1 postcode.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Common problems we fix in Coldhurst
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A chipped basin edge
- An antique basin with chips
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- A chipped vanity basin

What affects the price in Coldhurst
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
You do not 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 come back to you with a fixed figure.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the next day.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What else we do in Coldhurst
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Widespread crazing
- A basin that moves on its brackets
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Repair or replace in Coldhurst?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
