Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Cargreen. What changes the price is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- The material
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 pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs

Signs you need sink repair in Cargreen
Fine crazing in the glaze is generally down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
People generally call us when they notice one of these:
- Crazing in the glaze
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Knocks from hair straighteners
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How soon you can use it again
- What aftercare is recommended
- How the room is protected while they work
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Cargreen. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
For landlords and businesses
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.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cornwall and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
