How we handle sink repair in Coventry
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. If you are dealing with a crazed, tired basin and a chipped basin edge, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.

Should you replace it?
A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What affects the price in Coventry
