What happens on the day

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.

What a repair can’t fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should you replace it?

A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why us?

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Colnbrook: your questions answered

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

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Can you quote from pictures?

Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Will you remove the sink?

No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do you come to Colnbrook?

We do. Technicians travel to Colnbrook from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your SL3 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Use mild cleaners only

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
