Clapgate: your questions answered
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you cover Clapgate?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Clapgate for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Clapgate. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Widespread crazing
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks

Repairing versus replacing in Clapgate
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Get a quote
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
Places near Clapgate
Other services in Clapgate
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use gentle cleaners
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
When to call us in Clapgate
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- A chipped vanity basin
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Chips on the rim or front edge
Questions to ask before you book
- When it can be used again
- Aftercare advice
- How your room will be protected
- Who will actually do the work
What affects the price in Clapgate
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A photo taken from further back
Most customers in Clapgate get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
