Sink repair in Clifton, done in place
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. Our technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are a crack near the taps and crazing in the glaze.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Common questions in Clifton
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What areas do you cover?
All of Rotherham, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- 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.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the day after.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
Common problems we fix in Clifton
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Clients generally contact us about:
- A crazed, tired basin
- A crack near the taps
- A chipped vanity basin
- A period basin that needs restoring
What to look for in a quote
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the price covers travel
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether they match the colour on site
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use mild cleaners only
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For landlords and businesses
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.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why book with us
- One visit for most repairs
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Colour mixed on the day to match

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