DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
How we handle sink repair in Clough Dene
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. If you’re dealing with a chipped vanity basin and knocks from hair straighteners, we can help, on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins alike.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

FAQs for Clough Dene
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do you cover Clough Dene?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Clough Dene and the rest of County Durham. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Frequently. Send us photos and we will tell you.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins

What affects the price in Clough Dene
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the entire basin
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Why repair rather than replace?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
