Sink Repair in Clent
Our repair technicians come to Clent for chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- An original basin worth saving
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Get chips repaired early
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Sink repair in Clent without replacing anything
If the whole basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. Our repair technicians work on enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people get in touch are a chipped vanity basin and chips on the rim or front edge.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Clent as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
FAQs for Clent
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you cover the entire of Dudley?
Everywhere in the UK, Clent included. Travel is included in the price.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaks from the fittings
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
