Coniston Cold: your questions answered

Do you restore period basins?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Surface cracks can generally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Get chips repaired early
Use a heat mat for hair tools
Don’t overtighten taps

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How we price sink repair

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

The material and finish
The type of damage
How much damage there is
How hard the colour is to match

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. 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.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

A photo taken from further back
A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Where you are, by postcode
The material, if you know it

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
The repair is polished so it blends in.
You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

Ensure the area is dry
Let us know which floor the room is on
Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
