What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

What we can’t put right

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Plumbing leaks

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Colmworth

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

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Questions from Colmworth

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Surface cracks can typically be repaired. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Bedford Borough. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  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 tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for 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.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
