Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

How it works

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

We protect the area around the basin.
The damage is cleaned and prepared.
We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
We match the colour by hand.
The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

What kind of damage it is
Whether we combine several jobs
Where the damage is and how we get to it
The size and number of damaged areas

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
A wider photo showing the whole basin
The material, if you know it
A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Highland and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Common problems we fix in Bower

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

Common reasons people in Bower contact us include:

Fine cracks across the glaze
Chips from dropped toiletries
A period basin that needs restoring
A crack near the taps

10 questions to ask before booking

Bower questions

Do you disconnect the taps?

Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Are there extra charges for Bower?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Repairing versus replacing in Bower

Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
