Your questions about sink repair in Clock Face
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
What else we do in Clock Face
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
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.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Clock Face. The price reflects:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your WA9 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Clock Face
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
