Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Cove: your questions answered
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Will you remove the sink?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Do you cover Cove?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Cove from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
