What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
The price 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 price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Sink repair in Cockwells, done in place
We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. We work on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are chips from dropped toiletries and chips on a built-in basin.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cornwall.

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Cockwells questions
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Cockwells and the rest of Cornwall. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
Do you come to Cockwells?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Cockwells from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix 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 Cockwells as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Comparing quotes
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
Repairing versus replacing in Cockwells
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
