Trusted sink repair in Carburton

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Sink repair in Carburton without replacing anything

We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, matching the colour and gloss. Nothing is taken off the wall. Common call-outs are for fine cracks across the glaze and an antique basin with chips, across enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

What we can’t put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Widespread crazing
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Plumbing leaks

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

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

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Carburton: your questions answered

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Do you cover the whole of Nottinghamshire?

We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

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

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most chips for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
