How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
If you are in Clopton and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin that moves on its brackets
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Get chips repaired early
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What we are called out for in Clopton
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
People typically call us when they notice one of these:
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Chips on the rim or front edge

FAQs for Clopton
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Clopton
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
