Sink repair in Coleford without replacing anything
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. If you are dealing with cracks around the tap holes or waste and a period basin that needs restoring, we can help.

Landlord and trade work in Coleford
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
When to call us in Coleford
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- A crazed, tired basin
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit

The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Ensure the area is dry
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

FAQs for Coleford
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Do you cover the entire of Devon?
All of Devon, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your EX17 postcode.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Why repair rather than replace?
A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
What you get with us
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Rooms protected and left tidy
Read our pricing.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
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, and the work is guaranteed.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
