How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Cowers Lane. The price comes down to:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Cowers Lane, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What else we do in Cowers Lane
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Repair or replace: which is better?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best.

It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
