DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Common questions in Canklow
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
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.

What else we do in Canklow
Why repair rather than replace?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Canklow. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Send photos for a quote
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Most customers in Canklow get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaks from the fittings
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
