How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Get chips repaired early
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
What a repair can’t fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- A basin cracked through and leaking
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Cotterstock questions
Can you quote from pictures?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What your basin is made of matters
