What affects the price in Cotmanhay
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Cotmanhay. What changes the price is:
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your DE7 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Common questions in Cotmanhay
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
In many cases. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use mild cleaners only
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Repair chips before they stain
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the day after.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

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