About our sink repair in Clayhithe
We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. We regularly repair enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are a chipped basin edge and crazing in the glaze.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Your questions about sink repair in Clayhithe
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Clayhithe. What changes the price is:
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

What else we do in Clayhithe
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Should you replace it?
A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Why book with us
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- One price list for the entire UK
