Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Signs you need sink repair in Cowie

- A crack near the taps
- Fine cracks across the glaze
What your quote should include

Cowie: your questions answered
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Cowie. Prices don’t change with location.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you work in Cowie?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Cowie from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
How it works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the following day.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use mild cleaners only
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
