About our sink repair in Coldridge

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. We’re frequently asked to fix cracks starting at the waste and knocks from hair straighteners, in Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Coldridge

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Coldridge

Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Get chips repaired early

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 the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Related advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Coldridge questions

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you work in Coldridge?

We do. We send a technician to Coldridge for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Devon, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Coldridge. The price reflects:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the whole basin
  • Something in shot to show the size

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
