Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus

- The material, if you know it
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Sink repair at your home in East Cowick
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. We regularly repair enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the rim or front edge and a period basin that needs restoring.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

About sink & basin repair
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Plumbing leaks
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we work on in East Cowick
- Enamelled basins

Why repair rather than replace?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

East Cowick questions
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Repair chips before they stain
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
