How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Repairing versus replacing in Cowling

Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why Cowling clients choose us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Honest limits

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

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Widespread crazing
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

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

Surfaces we repair

  • Vanity unit basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Make sure the area is dry

Ask for a price

Advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
