Common questions in Cliviger

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so Cliviger is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Sink repair in Cliviger, done in place

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. We work on antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are a period basin that needs restoring and damage to a basin in a vanity unit.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What a repair cannot fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Plumbing leaks

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Do not 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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

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.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean the basin and check 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 the repair to blend it in.
  5. You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cliviger

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.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Common problems we fix in Cliviger

Fine crazing in the glaze is generally down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

The things clients typically mention when they call include:

  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • A chipped basin edge

Questions to ask before you book

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What aftercare is recommended
