Ceramic basin repaired, before and after

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

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.

Common problems we fix in South Clifton

Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

Clients normally contact us about:

  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • A crack near the taps
  • An antique basin with chips

What your quote should include

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Aftercare advice
  • What protection goes down before work starts

How to compare quotes

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Through cracks that let water out

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Enamelled basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Antique & period basins

Your questions about sink repair in South Clifton

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

In many cases. Send us pictures and we will tell you.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for South Clifton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

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.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

The process

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in South Clifton, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
