Sink repair for Clifton homes

What affects the price in Clifton

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.

How we handle sink repair in Clifton

Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and a period basin that needs restoring.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Why repair rather than replace?

A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Same prices wherever you are

See our prices page.

What we can’t put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

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

Surfaces we repair

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

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. The basin can generally be used later that day or the next day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

Most customers in Clifton get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

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, it’s worth having it done properly.
