What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Make sure the area is dry

FAQs for Coylton

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Are there extra charges for Coylton?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Do you need sink repair in Coylton?

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

The things customers generally mention when they call are:

  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • An original basin worth saving
  • Chips on the rim or front edge

Choosing a repair company

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Coylton

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Coylton use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

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

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
