Questions from Clapham
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Clapham and the rest of Lancashire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Do you come to Clapham?

How much does sink repair cost in Clapham?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What affects the price in Clapham
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Repair or replace in Clapham?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Our sink repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

What else we do in Clapham
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Landlord and trade work in Clapham
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
