About our sink repair in Cockett
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. If you are dealing with a crack near the taps and a crazed, tired basin, we can help, on antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins alike.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

FAQs for Cockett
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Cockett.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Get chips repaired early
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
