About our sink repair in Clovenstone
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. We’re frequently asked to fix damage to a basin in a vanity unit and fine cracks across the glaze, in enamelled basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Clovenstone. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A picture taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Why repair rather than replace?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. 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.
What you get with us
- A fixed quote before booking
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Clovenstone, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use gentle cleaners
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Questions from Clovenstone

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
