Sink repair at your home in Cowick
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. We are frequently asked to fix a crazed, tired basin and chips on a built-in basin, on antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Repairing versus replacing in Cowick
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Cowick, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

When we would advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Plumbing leaks
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Cowick questions
What happens next?

I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
