Sink repair in West Clifton, done in place
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people get in touch are knocks from hair straighteners and a crack near the taps.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid abrasive pads
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Common problems we fix in West Clifton
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Customers typically contact us about:
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- An antique basin with chips
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit

Your questions about sink repair in West Clifton
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, normally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How do I get a price for sink repair in West Clifton?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- 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.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Ensure the area is dry

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Plumbing leaks
