- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use gentle cleaners
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Cowcaddens. The price comes down to:
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Cowcaddens questions
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures 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.
