Sink repair in Cox Green

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Through cracks that let water out

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

Surfaces we repair

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

From cloakroom basins to period pieces, whatever they’re made of. Taps and wastes stay connected. If you’re dealing with chips around the rim and an antique basin with chips, we can help, on antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Cox Green. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the whole basin
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For a price in Cox Green, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

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

Signs you need sink repair in Cox Green

Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

Clients normally contact us about:

  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste

Before you book anyone

  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

How to compare quotes

Cox Green: your questions answered

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a couple of hours for most chips, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
