How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use mild cleaners only
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Landlord and trade work in Clipston
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Widespread crazing
- Plumbing leaks
- Through cracks that let water out
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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 normally cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Common questions in Clipston
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price. You’re under no obligation.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Will you remove the sink?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
