Sink repair in Clifton, done in place
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Our technicians work on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people contact us are a chipped basin edge and a chipped vanity basin.

Common questions in Clifton
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Clifton. Prices don’t change with location.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours. We leave the room clean.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Clifton
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
For anyone letting property in or around Clifton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Get chips repaired early
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaks from the fittings
- Widespread crazing
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Clifton. What changes the price is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For a price in Clifton, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
