Before and after: a damaged ceramic basin restored

Clive Green: your questions answered

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Cheshire West and Chester.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

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.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Don’t overtighten taps

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Clive Green

Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.

  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • A chipped vanity basin

10 questions to ask before you book

Repair or replace in Clive Green?

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. Our sink repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Clive Green

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Read our prices page.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Clive Green. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • The material

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One picture of the whole basin
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Most clients in Clive Green get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
