Sink repair in North Cowton, done in place
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. If you are dealing with a chipped basin edge and a period basin that needs restoring, we can usually put it right, on antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
FAQs for North Cowton
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in North Cowton.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Repairing versus replacing in North Cowton
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us
- Colour-matched on site
- No need to remove anything
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Same prices wherever you are

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Ensure the area is dry
