Repairs by material

About our sink repair in Coulsdon
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. If you’re dealing with damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and chips around the rim, we can help, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
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.
Your questions about sink repair in Coulsdon
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Are there extra charges for Coulsdon?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Coulsdon. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Coulsdon. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the whole basin
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Most customers in Coulsdon get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Repair or replace in Coulsdon?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.
What you get with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

- Widespread crazing
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
