The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
Most clients in Coldmoorholme get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
When to call us in Coldmoorholme
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- A crack near the taps

- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
Before booking anyone

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Repairing versus replacing in Coldmoorholme
A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Coldmoorholme questions
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Do you cover Coldmoorholme?
We do. We send a technician to Coldmoorholme for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can usually be repaired. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
