How we handle sink repair in Pickford

From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We work on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins, and common reasons people contact us are a chipped basin edge and a period basin that needs restoring.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Our hiring checklist

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Pickford. What changes the price is:

  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Pickford. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the entire basin

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your CV5 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Composite and resin

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Leaks from the fittings

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Pickford

Pickford questions

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you cover the whole of Coventry?

The entire UK, including all of Coventry. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Will you leave a mess?

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

What information do you need?

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