About our sink repair in Cargo
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is typically repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most often call us about knocks from hair straighteners and an antique basin with chips.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Do not overtighten taps
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Signs you need sink repair in Cargo
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- An antique basin with chips
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
Before booking anyone
- Aftercare advice
- How the room is protected while they work
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Cargo
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A picture taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a couple of hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
