Sink repair in Coton

How we handle sink repair in Coton

We repair bathroom basins, cloakroom basins, vanity units and period basins, in ceramic, composite and enamel. There’s no plumbing to disconnect. We’re often asked to fix chips on the rim or front edge and a crazed, tired basin, across antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Why repair rather than replace?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Plumbing leaks

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in Coton

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One picture of the entire basin
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

There’s 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’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Coton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. The basin can usually be used later that day or the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

If you’re in Coton and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Coton questions

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

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