DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
Your questions about sink repair in Cooksland
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do you work in Cooksland?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Cooksland for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- One picture of the whole basin
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Avoid abrasive pads
