Cottingham questions
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Will you remove the sink?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Signs you need sink repair in Cottingham
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- A chipped vanity basin
- An original basin worth saving
- A crack near the taps
- Chips from dropped toiletries

When a repair is not the answer
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Plumbing leaks
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins

- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
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. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Get chips repaired early
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
