How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price

Advice
FAQs for Clovenfords
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Will you remove the sink?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Do you cover the whole of the Scottish Borders?
Across the UK, and that includes Clovenfords. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Through cracks that let water out

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use mild cleaners only
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Should you replace it?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is normally best. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
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.
Signs you need sink repair in Clovenfords
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
