Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Take a look at our pricing.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

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.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

FAQs for Carleton

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Will you remove the sink?

No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

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

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
