Sink Repair for Cockwood homes
Damaged basin in Cockwood? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Chips on a built-in basin
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Sink repair in Cockwood, done in place
If the whole basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. Common call-outs are for chips on the rim or front edge and cracks starting at the waste, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
