About our sink repair in Carlbury
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We work on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people contact us are chips on a built-in basin and an antique basin with chips.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Get chips repaired early
- Do not overtighten taps
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Carlbury questions
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
How much does sink repair cost in Carlbury?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your DL2 postcode.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Is there a guarantee?

Should you replace it?

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
