Sink repair for Copthorne homes

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

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

Advice

Sink repair in Copthorne without replacing anything

We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. If you are dealing with chips on the rim or front edge and a crack near the taps, we can usually put it right.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Plumbing leaks

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Copthorne. What changes the price is:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Send photos for a quote

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How to compare quotes

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Copthorne questions

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Typically, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
