For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the entire basin
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
If you’re in Carbrain and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Carbrain questions
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of North Lanarkshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Are there extra charges for Carbrain?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What we do, step by step
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 usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Advice
When to call us in Carbrain
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A crazed, tired basin
- Chips around the rim
- A chipped vanity basin
- An antique basin with chips
What your quote should include
- What aftercare is recommended
- Who turns up on the day
- When it can be used again

What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
