About our sink repair in Clipstone
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and enamelled basins, and people most frequently call us about cracks starting at the waste and chips on a built-in basin.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What else we do in Clipstone
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
How it works
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Clipstone. What changes the price is:
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
When we’d advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
What we are called out for in Clipstone
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A crack near the taps
- An original basin worth saving
- Chips around the rim
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How long it needs to cure
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Why repair rather than replace?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
