- Repairs from £95
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools

How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

- 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 clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Your questions about sink repair in Cowie
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Plumbing leaks
- Widespread crazing
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Natural light rather than flash
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
