Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use gentle cleaners
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
The process
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

What else we do in Cottown
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Cottown
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Cottown questions
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Do you cover Cottown?
We do. We send a technician to Cottown for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Cottown. Our prices are the same everywhere.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaks from the fittings
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins

Repair or replace: which is better?

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Cottown. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
