Trusted sink repair in Frampton Cotterell

Sink repair in Frampton Cotterell without replacing anything

We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We are often asked to fix a crazed, tired basin and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, in antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

Common questions in Frampton Cotterell

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you come to Frampton Cotterell?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Frampton Cotterell. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across South Gloucestershire.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Widespread crazing

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish 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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Common problems we fix in Frampton Cotterell

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • A chipped basin edge
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • When it can be used again
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Choosing a repair company

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
