On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
Common problems we fix in Clipsham
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, along with damage during fitting.
Common reasons people in Clipsham contact us are:
- A crazed, tired basin
- A chipped vanity basin
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- A crack near the taps

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use gentle cleaners
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
For landlords and businesses
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.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Clipsham as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
