How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

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. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

FAQs for Claughton

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Normally, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do you disconnect the taps?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What we can’t put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

Clean with mild, non-abrasive 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.

Common problems we fix in Claughton

Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, and some happen during bathroom refits.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Chips around the rim
  • An original basin worth saving

What to look for in a quote

  • Aftercare advice
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether they match the colour on site

10 questions to ask before booking

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

What affects the price in Claughton

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
