Questions from Clifton

Do you work in Clifton?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Clifton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Repairing versus replacing in Clifton

Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

What you get with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Take a look at our pricing.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

When to call us in Clifton

Fine crazing in the glaze is typically down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.

Common reasons people in Clifton contact us are:

  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Chips around the rim
  • Chips on a built-in basin

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Choosing a repair company

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Enamelled basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Antique & period basins

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
