Sink Repair for Clap Hill homes
We travel to Clap Hill for chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Cracks starting at the waste
How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
If you’re in Clap Hill and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Why repair rather than replace?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Clap Hill: your questions answered
Do you come to Clap Hill?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Clap Hill. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Generally, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
What we can’t put right
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
