About our sink repair in Clare Market
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. Our repair technicians work on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are chips on the rim or front edge and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the entire basin
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
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 generally the cheaper route.
Repair or replace in Clare Market?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a couple of hours for most chips, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
- Get chips repaired early
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
FAQs for Clare Market
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
