Trusted sink repair in Colt's Hill

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

About our sink repair in Colt's Hill

If the entire basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. Whether it’s chips on a built-in basin and a period basin that needs restoring, we can help.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Colt's Hill: your questions answered

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

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

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you disconnect the taps?

Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. The basin can generally be used later that day or the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

When to call us in Colt's Hill

Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • An antique basin with chips
  • Chips on the rim or front edge

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What prep work is covered

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
