About our sink repair in Cote

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We work on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most frequently call us about a chipped basin edge and knocks from hair straighteners.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Cote as everywhere else we work.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Cote: your questions answered

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How much does sink repair cost in Cote?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

When to call us in Cote

Fine crazing in the glaze is generally down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • A chipped vanity basin
  • An antique basin with chips
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Fine cracks across the glaze

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What preparation is included

Choosing a repair company

Should you replace it?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. 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.

Why us?

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
