Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use gentle cleaners
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Repairing versus replacing in Carlecotes
A new basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Carlecotes. The price reflects:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For a price in Carlecotes, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
