Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Read our prices page.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Widespread crazing
  • Plumbing leaks

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your HP23 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Cow Roast: your questions answered

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

How much does sink repair cost in Cow Roast?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you come to Cow Roast?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Cow Roast for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
