What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Clachan. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How we handle sink repair in Clachan
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Typical jobs include a chipped basin edge and crazing in the glaze, across Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is normally best. Our sink repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Clachan. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Clachan
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Signs you need sink repair in Clachan
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
