Repairing versus replacing in Cockfield
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

When a repair is not the answer

How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Get chips repaired early
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Use gentle cleaners
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Common questions in Cockfield
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote. There’s no obligation to book.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
