Sink repair in Cowley without replacing anything

If the whole basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. Common call-outs are for chips on the rim or front edge and a crack near the taps, on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Cowley as everywhere else we work.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

FAQs for Cowley

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Don’t overtighten taps

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

What we’re called out for in Cowley

Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Cracks starting at the waste

Before you book anyone

  • What preparation is included
  • When it can be used again

How to compare quotes

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cowley use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
