About our sink repair in Cookhill

Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Our technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most frequently call us about a crazed, tired basin and a chipped vanity basin.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

What we cannot put right

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Leaks from the fittings

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

Materials we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

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

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Signs you need sink repair in Cookhill

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • An antique basin with chips
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools

10 questions to ask before you book

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Cookhill: your questions answered

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Are there extra charges for Cookhill?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
