How we handle sink repair in Clerkenwell
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. Our repair technicians work on antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are cracks around the tap holes or waste and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Should you replace it?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. 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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Clerkenwell questions
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Greater London and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How it works
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
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.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Clerkenwell. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Clerkenwell. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
If you are in Clerkenwell and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
When to call us in Clerkenwell
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A chipped basin edge
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- An antique basin with chips
Before booking anyone
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What prep work is covered
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
