Sink repair near Coopers

Sink repair in Coopers without replacing anything

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. We regularly repair antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people contact us are fine cracks across the glaze and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What affects the price in Coopers

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Coopers. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode

For a price in Coopers, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

How the visit works

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Your questions about sink repair in Coopers

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

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

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

When to call us in Coopers

Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, and some happen during bathroom refits.

The things clients usually mention when they call are:

  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • Chips around the rim
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • A crack near the taps

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
