Trusted sink repair in Coundon

What we do, step by step

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, 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.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Widespread crazing

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why Coundon clients choose us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • No need to remove anything
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Read our pricing.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

What affects the price in Coundon

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Coundon. What changes the price is:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CV6 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Use mild cleaners only

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.

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

Coundon questions

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
