Sink repair near Coton Hill

How we handle sink repair in Coton Hill

If the entire basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. If you’re dealing with damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and cracks starting at the waste, we can typically put it right.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

What we’re called out for in Coton Hill

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.

Common reasons people in Coton Hill contact us include:

  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • A crack near the taps
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • An antique basin with chips

Before you book anyone

  • What prep work is covered
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How the colour is matched

Our hiring checklist

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Repair chips before they stain

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

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Coton Hill questions

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed price. You’re under no obligation.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you restore period basins?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Coton Hill, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Coton Hill. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
