About our sink repair in Clapgate
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins, and people most often call us about a crack near the taps and an original basin worth saving.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Get chips repaired early
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Clapgate. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Clapgate?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your BH21 postcode.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
