DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
How we handle sink repair in Great Clifton
We repair bathroom basins, cloakroom basins, vanity units and period basins, whatever they’re made of. There’s no plumbing to disconnect. If you are dealing with knocks from hair straighteners and a period basin that needs restoring, we can help, whatever the material.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cumbria.

When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins

Common problems we fix in Great Clifton

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

- Crazing in the glaze
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Chips from dropped toiletries

Great Clifton: your questions answered
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Great Clifton. The price comes down to:
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job without visiting.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
For landlords and businesses
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.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
