How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Widespread crazing
  • Through cracks that let water out

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Carbrook. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Your questions about sink repair in Carbrook

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Will you remove the sink?

No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.

How do I book?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Carbrook?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Landlord and trade work in Carbrook

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Common problems we fix in Carbrook

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste

What your quote should include

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How your room will be protected
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
