How it works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have a window or extractor fan available

- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Widespread crazing

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Most clients in Cowgrove get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Cowgrove: your questions answered
Do you cover the entire of Dorset?
Across the UK, so Cowgrove is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you come to Cowgrove?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Cowgrove for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
