Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Read our pricing.
For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use mild cleaners only
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear the area around the damage

Related advice
Cotehill: your questions answered
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Are there extra charges for Cotehill?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
Do you need sink repair in Cotehill?
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, and some happen during bathroom refits.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Crazing in the glaze
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- An original basin worth saving
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
What your quote should include
- How changes to the job are handled
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair

What affects the price in Cotehill
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Cotehill. The price reflects:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole basin
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
