Your questions about sink repair in Cowlinge
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Cowlinge included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Cowlinge and the rest of Cambridgeshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is the work guaranteed?

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

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed quote
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
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why book with us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Work done at your home or business
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- A fixed quote before booking

When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
