Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- The material, if you know it

- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Clarencefield questions
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Dumfries and Galloway, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Widespread crazing
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use gentle cleaners
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
What happens on the day
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
