Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once

What it costs 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 photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Clampits, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Clampits questions

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Do you cover Clampits?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Clampits and the rest of Cornwall. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Frequently. Send us pictures and we will tell you.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Clampits?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Do you cover the entire of Cornwall?

Across the UK, so Clampits is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Widespread crazing
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Antique & period basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Vanity unit basins

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

How the visit 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 work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
