When to call us in Cowcliffe
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Chips around the rim
What your quote should include
- When it can be used again
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How the room is protected while they work
- How to look after the finish
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Cowcliffe. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Ensure the area is dry
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Questions from Cowcliffe
Do you work in Cowcliffe?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Cowcliffe for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use gentle cleaners
- Don’t overtighten taps
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Cowcliffe, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Through cracks that let water out
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
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.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Cowcliffe. What changes the price is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Most clients in Cowcliffe get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
