How we handle sink repair in Claypits
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on a built-in basin and cracks around the tap holes or waste.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them

- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Claypits use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Repair chips before they stain
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Advice
Repairing versus replacing in Claypits
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why Claypits clients choose us
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

- Typically one visit, start to finish

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
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.
