Coton: your questions answered
What information do you need?

Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Coton. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
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.
Signs you need sink repair in Coton
Fine crazing in the glaze is typically down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Crazing in the glaze
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Chips from dropped toiletries
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How soon you can use it again
- Who will actually do the work
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Coton
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Coton
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
