Questions from Colton
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Colton and the rest of Staffordshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Sink repair in Colton, done in place
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. Our repair technicians work on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people contact us are an antique basin with chips and damage to a basin in a vanity unit.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Colton and across Staffordshire.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
When to call us in Colton
Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A chipped basin edge
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- A crazed, tired basin
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if they find more damage
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether a trained technician does the job
When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Widespread crazing
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Landlord and trade work in Colton
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Colton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Most customers in Colton get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
