Sink repair at your home in Coton
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. We’re frequently asked to fix fine cracks across the glaze and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools, on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should you replace it?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Questions from Coton
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed quote. You are under no obligation.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Landlord and trade work in Coton
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What else we do in Coton
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Get chips repaired early
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Plumbing leaks
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
