Sink repair in Cotham without replacing anything
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. Whether it’s a chipped basin edge and chips from dropped toiletries, we can help, on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and enamelled basins alike.
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.

What affects the price in Cotham
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
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.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- The material, if you know it
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What your basin is made of matters
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.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Do you need sink repair in Cotham?
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Look out for any of the following:
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- An original basin worth saving
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Fine cracks across the glaze
What your quote should include
- How the room is protected while they work
- Who will actually do the work
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Should you replace it?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Common questions in Cotham
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Cotham?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your NG23 postcode.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Is the work guaranteed?

How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Get chips repaired early
- Use mild cleaners only
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have a window or extractor fan available
