Your questions about sink repair in Cookridge
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Frequently. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Cookridge. What changes the price is:
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Repair or replace in Cookridge?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use gentle cleaners
- Get chips repaired early
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
