Related advice
Cleeve: your questions answered
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do you cover Cleeve?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Cleeve from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Do not overtighten taps
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Why repair rather than replace?
A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Do you need sink repair in Cleeve?
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A period basin that needs restoring
- A chipped basin edge
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
Questions to ask before you book
- How the colour is matched
- How long it needs to cure
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How the room is protected while they work
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
