DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

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.

Cothill: your questions answered

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Will you remove the sink?

Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Repair or replace in Cothill?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is usually the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Signs you need sink repair in Cothill

Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, and some happen during bathroom refits.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • An original basin worth saving

Before you book anyone

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How to care for the finish
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Leaks from the fittings

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
