Common questions in Far Cotton
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Generally, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
About our sink repair in Far Cotton
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Typical jobs include damage to a basin in a vanity unit and knocks from hair straighteners, across ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Northamptonshire.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Far Cotton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Repairing versus replacing in Far Cotton
A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Letting agents often 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.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Ensure the area is dry
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
