Common questions in Scowles
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Gloucestershire.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Sink repair in Scowles, done in place
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Typical jobs include cracks starting at the waste and fine cracks across the glaze, in enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

What we’re called out for in Scowles
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A crazed, tired basin
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Cracks starting at the waste
What to look for in a quote

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
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.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

What affects the price in Scowles
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Scowles. The price reflects:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit

Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
