Sink repair in Cottingham, done in place
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. We regularly repair vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are cracks starting at the waste and knocks from hair straighteners.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What we’re called out for in Cottingham
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- An original basin worth saving
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Knocks from hair straighteners

What affects the price in Cottingham
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- The material
- Access to the area
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Should you replace it?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Cottingham. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How it works
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
