How to compare quotes

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Plumbing leaks

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

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.

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. 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 Coles Green

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Common questions in Coles Green

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Coles Green. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
