- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice
What we are called out for in Coleby
Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.
The things customers typically mention when they call include:
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Chips around the rim
Before booking anyone
- What preparation is included
- When it can be used again
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Why us?
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

When a repair is not the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Widespread crazing
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Do not overtighten taps
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Your questions about sink repair in Coleby
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Coleby?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Coleby
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
