How the visit works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

Cossington questions

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

What does sink repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your LE7 postcode.

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Do you need sink repair in Cossington?

Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • A chipped basin edge
  • Knocks from hair straighteners

Our hiring checklist

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

  • Enamelled basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Cossington. The price reflects:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • One picture of the entire basin
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Most customers in Cossington get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
