Sink repair in Clayholes without replacing anything

If the entire basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. Typical jobs include chips around the rim and a crazed, tired basin, in vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins.

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Honest limits

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Plumbing leaks

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Clayholes

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

What we are called out for in Clayholes

Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, along with damage during fitting.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Chips around the rim

Before you book anyone

  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How your room will be protected

Choosing a repair company

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

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

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • One picture of the entire basin
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Clayholes, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
