Why repair rather than replace?
A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Why us?
- No need to remove anything
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- One-year guarantee on every repair

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Store toiletries on a shelf
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. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Clifton Maybank. The price comes down to:
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
Most clients in Clifton Maybank get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
Clifton Maybank questions
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire basin and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
What we’re called out for in Clifton Maybank
Fine crazing in the glaze is typically down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A chipped vanity basin
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A chipped basin edge
- An original basin worth saving
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Who will actually do the work
- When it can be used again
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
