Sink & basin repair in Green Lane, Coventry
Our repair technicians come to Green Lane for chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- An original basin worth saving
- Chips on a built-in basin
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Sink repair in Green Lane 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. Typical jobs include a crazed, tired basin and a chipped basin edge, on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Green Lane: your questions answered
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
How much does sink repair cost in Green Lane?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
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.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Open a window if you can
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Green Lane. The price reflects:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Green Lane. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- One picture of the whole basin
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
