Cooling Street: your questions answered
Are there extra charges for Cooling Street?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do you cover the whole of Medway?
We work UK-wide, so Cooling Street is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Normally, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Cooling Street?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What affects the price in Cooling Street
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
Most customers in Cooling Street get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Repair or replace in Cooling Street?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material 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.
Why us?
- Work done at your home or business
- One price list for the whole UK
