About our sink repair in Cocks

If the whole basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. Typical jobs include damage to a basin in a vanity unit and chips on the rim or front edge, in antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Repairing versus replacing in Cocks

Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Your questions about sink repair in Cocks

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

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.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Will you leave a mess?

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

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

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

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a couple of hours for most chips.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. The basin can typically be used later that day or the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cocks

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cocks as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Cocks. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
