Sink repair in Clifton, done in place
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is usually repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We are often asked to fix cracks around the tap holes or waste and an original basin worth saving, on antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Plumbing leaks
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, along with damage during fitting.

Questions from Clifton
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van 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’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
Most clients in Clifton get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use mild cleaners only
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
