Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Common questions in Cleghorn
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Landlord and trade work in Cleghorn
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Cleghorn. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A picture taken from further back
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Get chips repaired early
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
