DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Ensure the area is dry

Questions from Cowbar
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid abrasive pads
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
