About our sink repair in Cotleigh

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. If you’re dealing with chips around the rim and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Common questions in Cotleigh

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Will you remove the sink?

No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

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

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do you work in Cotleigh?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Cotleigh. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Should you replace it?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

Why us?

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • One visit for most repairs
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

What a repair can’t fix

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Widespread crazing

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cotleigh

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cotleigh as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

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

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Cotleigh. What changes the price is:

  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it 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 quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
