Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- 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 any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Get chips repaired early
- Use mild cleaners only
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Questions from Clapton
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
How much does sink repair cost in Clapton?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One picture of the whole basin
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
