Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What else we do in Cottown
Cottown questions
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Generally, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use gentle cleaners
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Cottown. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Do you need sink repair in Cottown?
Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Chips on a built-in basin
- A crazed, tired basin
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- An antique basin with chips
What your quote should include
- Who will actually do the work
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a couple of hours for most chips. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

What affects the price in Cottown
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Cottown. The price reflects:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
