About our sink repair in Clifford
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. Typical jobs include a period basin that needs restoring and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Repair chips before they stain
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Clifford questions
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Clifford.
Are there extra charges for Clifford?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What affects the price in Clifford
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Herefordshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
