About our sink repair in Clipston
We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins, and people most often call us about chips around the rim and a chipped vanity basin.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Different materials, different repairs
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.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid abrasive pads
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Should you replace it?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Questions from Clipston
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Frequently. Send us pictures and we will tell you.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Northamptonshire.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
