Sink repair at your home in Clapham

We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. We’re often asked to fix a chipped basin edge and chips from dropped toiletries, on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and enamelled basins.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Common questions in Clapham

Do you cover the entire of West Sussex?

All of West Sussex, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you come to Clapham?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Clapham and the rest of West Sussex. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

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

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Generally, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Use gentle cleaners

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

How it works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Related advice

What we can’t put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Clapham. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Clapham, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
