What we do, step by step
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Should you replace it?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid abrasive pads
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
When to call us in Claughton
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Cracks starting at the waste
- A crazed, tired basin
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
Questions to ask before you book
- How soon you can use it again
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How your room will be protected
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

What else we do in Claughton
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Claughton
If you manage property in Claughton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Questions from Claughton
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Frequently. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
