Sink repair in Cotman's Ash, done in place

We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Common call-outs are for a crazed, tired basin and cracks around the tap holes or waste, across enamelled basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Through cracks that let water out

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

How it works

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It normally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know about parking or access

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is normally best. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Take a look at our full price list.

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

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

What affects the price in Cotman's Ash

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, 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

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A photo taken from further back

For a price in Cotman's Ash, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

FAQs for Cotman's Ash

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
