Your questions about sink repair in Cowpen
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Repair or replace: which is better?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What happens on the day
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
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.

Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your NE24 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Repair chips before they stain
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
