Repairs by material

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

About our sink repair in Claverton

Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We work on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are an antique basin with chips and knocks from hair straighteners.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Leaks from the fittings

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

What we work on

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

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

What affects the price in Claverton

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your BA2 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Signs you need sink repair in Claverton

Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • A chipped vanity basin
  • An original basin worth saving
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Chips around the rim

What your quote should include

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What preparation is included

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Claverton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • A fixed quote before booking

See our full price list.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. The basin can normally be used later that day or the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
