Sink repair for Coughton homes

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Sink repair in Coughton, done in place

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. We’re often asked to fix an original basin worth saving and chips around the rim, across vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Coughton

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.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Leaks from the fittings

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Coughton. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of

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.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

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 fails, we can still put it right.

Signs you need sink repair in Coughton

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Chips on the rim or front edge

Before booking anyone

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • When it can be used again
  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

The process

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  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.
