What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

How we handle sink repair in Claydon
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. We’re often asked to fix fine cracks across the glaze and a chipped basin edge, in Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Claydon, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Why repair rather than replace?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Claydon. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- One visit for most repairs

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Claydon. The price comes down to:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
