DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Local landmarks in Clift

Landlords, agents and businesses in Clift
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed

- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why Clift customers choose us
- One visit for most repairs
- Colour mixed on the day to match
