About our sink repair in Cotness
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. If you’re dealing with knocks from hair straighteners and chips on the rim or front edge, we can help, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks alike.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Repairing versus replacing in Cotness
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Cotness. The price comes down to:
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A photo taken from further back
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

When we’d advise against a repair

- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Plumbing leaks
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
FAQs for Cotness
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Do you come to Cotness?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Cotness from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a couple of hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid abrasive pads
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
