How we handle sink repair in Cocking
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Common call-outs are for chips on a built-in basin and chips from dropped toiletries, on Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Cocking, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
FAQs for Cocking
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Generally, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Widespread crazing
- Plumbing leaks
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
When to call us in Cocking

Advice
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Cocking, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
