How we handle sink repair in Coleford

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. If you’re dealing with cracks starting at the waste and an original basin worth saving, we can help, on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

How the visit works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Why repair rather than replace?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Coleford. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Common questions in Coleford

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Coleford and the rest of Somerset. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you cover Coleford?

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

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Generally, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Get chips repaired early

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
