Sink repair in Clifford's Mesne, done in place
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. If you are dealing with chips on the rim or front edge and a chipped vanity basin, we can help, on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks alike.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Gloucestershire.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. 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.
Your questions about sink repair in Clifford's Mesne
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Gloucestershire.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

What affects the price in Clifford's Mesne
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A photo taken from further back
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
How it works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
